I'm autistic.

I'm asking the council for a memorial

for the witches of Juniper.

Juniper has no need of a witch memorial.

Motion denied.

We're all sick of you thinking you're so special.

You think it's OK to be rude because I'm autistic?

Because you're artistic? Autistic.

This village needs to understand it was wrong to judge people

for being different then and it's wrong now.

On the matter of a memorial

all those in favour say aye.

ALL: Aye.

Motion passed!

CHEERING

And, as you can see, it's a...

..a truly marvellous memorial

which had the, er, full backing

of Juniper Council.

And it was all thanks

to a most remarkable young resident,

Addie Darrow. Right.

So where is she?

Addie!

Nearly done.

Oh, don't forget the shiny stuff.

We're going to be late for the reporter.

Looking good, Addie. Thank you.

Ready?

Not really. You're perfect.

Hey, that's my line.

It's so exciting.

You're going to be in the paper. If you make it in time.

Oh, maybe we should take the car.

Oh, I hate doing that funny thing again.

Funny thing where it doesn't start?

Yeah.

We'll run.

The one time I'm actually wearing grown-up shoes.

Oh!

Why are we always late?

Other people just walk calmly out of their houses... Come on!

..and go where they want to go.

Other people are boring!

Addie, hold on to your hair.

Wait for me.

That's it. Big smile.

All right? I'm fine.

So, Abby, tell me, why witches?

It's Addie

and I...I just thought it would help.

Bit late for the witches.

SHE LAUGHS

But I wanted to show everyone

that Juniper can change.

That it can be a place where everyone has a voice.

Including people like you. You have autism, right?

I'm autistic.

Yes, my sister is too.

Greetings, neurotypicals.

So, is this to inspire other kids with autism?

Autistic kids.

And other kids and everyone.

Right, Addie?

Right.

So you do see yourself as an inspiration then?

FLUTTERING

HEDGE STRIMMER REVS

We all do.

And we're all very excited

to see what Addie does next.

Let's get one of you, too, then.

Lovely.

Big smile.

Great. Well, it's a great story.

I'll get this uploaded in the next couple of hours.

Well done, Addie. A famous daughter.

Excuse me. I've over 20,000 followers.

James. Sorry, famous daughters, sorry.

Right off home. We've got a lot to do.

Well done. Like what? You'll see.

You did great, Addie.

Did I?

You.

What?

Oh, big fan.

Oh! You've got her into witches.

You made me feel like it's OK to be different.

You made things all right.

Oh, thank you.

Come on.

Is this me?

She drew you, Addie.

You really inspired that kid.

Which is a nice thing.

It's a lot.

But it's supposed to be about the witches, not me.

Hey, you OK?

Sorry.

I just, um...

The summer holidays can be hard.

Like right now, I would head to the library,

clear my head, but it's not there in the holidays.

It can be hard to find space to think.

Especially when everyone seems to be talking about you.

I know what you need.

You do?

Ice cream.

Um, what is this?

This is the all-singing, all-dancing,

ultra-high-tech Darrow family holiday

fund cashometer, patent pending.

We're going on holiday.

Possibly. It's brave.

I know it went badly last time, but that was ten years ago.

And we could do with a change of scene.

Somewhere hot and glamorous, please, please, please.

Er, no, we were thinking

somewhere like a traditional seaside town.

I've been doing some research. But we aren't going anywhere

until this gold finger reaches this gold star.

And this box is for stuff we can sell.

I've got loads.

And if you don't want to sell anything, then that's fine.

Gosh, Joe, I'm not a hoarder. I'm fine.

I'm sure I'll be able to donate some stuff to the holiday fund.

Let's go have a look then.

You know, the chances of us actually making it on holiday are pretty low.

It's so hard to find anywhere that works for us.

We can do it

When we do, this happens.

CANNED CHEERING

Summer has officially started.

We're going to have so much fun.

I never really thought about being inspiring.

What do inspiring people do anyway?

Like, make a speech once a month?

Sounds like a lot of work.

Mm.

Maybe I should get another memorial.

Mr McKinney's gavel.

Nina holding a make-up brush aloft.

Your mum with a pot of jam.

I'm serious, though. I'll have to think of something.

Addie, even superheroes deserve a summer off.

Don't stress.

OK. One vanilla.

And one... Thank you.

Er, Jenna, are you OK?

Um...

Jude's here.

Jude? Don't look.

Oh.

He's waving at me.

I think he just wants to, er, put in his order.

Oh, right, um, OK.

How do I look?

You look lovely, as always.

Thanks, Addie.

OK, here we go.

THEY GIGGLE

Hey, Frank, I've got the flyers.

Oh, great.

"Juniper History Tour..."

Go on.

"..with your guide, Frank."

Yes, these are perfect.

Thanks, Audrey.

If the tour goes well, I reckon

Mr Mackintosh might even make me a junior councillor.

You'd be perfect.

All those years of bell ringing have paid off.

Hey, Addie, news story's up.

PHONE PINGS

"Local girl hopes to inspire others."

That's not really what I said.

It sounds cool, though. It's amazing, Addie.

What an achievement.

So proud of you.

You have to do an Addie Darrow tour next.

Don't.

Yeah, that would be really weird. Right, I've got to get going.

Oh, me too. I've got a Zoom with my dad.

He's also got news, apparently.

"Great addition to the village.

Definitely worth a visit."

Oh.

"Who does this girl think she is?"

Hi, everyone. Welcome to my blog.

It's the summer holidays.

Sun's out, school's out.

And it's time for clear out,

whether it's making space in your wardrobe,

thinking about the new term or, like me,

raising funds for a family holiday.

Decluttering is all about making smart choices.

So let's get started.

For me, I like to check in with each item individually.

Does it spark joy or does it spark search and destroy?

Keeds, get in here.

Addie's news story's live.

Oh.

What's under the finger, Nina?

Nothing. It's not a big deal.

Another virtue-signalling wannabe.

"Who does this girl think she is?"

Ouch.

It's all from the same account.

LostGirl22.

Do you think Addie's seen?

I don't know.

But Addie knows how to deal with the trolls, you know,

just downvote or ignore.

What?

Um...

..I'm just thinking about Addie.

I mean, we've both done our best to protect her, but...

..have we done enough?

Enough of what?

When we're not here.

Are we dying?

I'm serious, Keeds.

I mean, I know uni feels like ages away,

but you have to start thinking about it.

I'm not even sure if I'm going to go.

Well, maybe the uni fair tomorrow will help you decide.

It's a big choice, Keeds.

You can't hide from the future.

I can hide from anything.

NINA LAUGHS

See?

Yeah.

PHONE PINGS "Embarrassing."

"Pointless."

"Boring."

"What a waste of time."

PHONE PINGS

"Can't believe people fall for this rubbish."

PHONE PINGS

The memorial is a real achievement, young lady.

Oh, thank you.

Autistic kids can do anything, right?

Er, not anything. So what's next?

Sorry. Excuse me.

Oh, hello, Miriam.

Feeling the pressure, are you?

Yes.

It's far easier to be ignored

than noticed, I find.

But how do I make it stop?

You can't, I'm afraid, the genie is out of the bottle.

You're Juniper's golden girl now.

We've all seen the article.

Let them say what they want.

You must write your own story.

Write my own story, OK.

Busy day today, I can finally start putting together marketing

materials for number 22.

So excited.

This sale is really going to turn things around for the business.

Oh, look, it's the inspiration.

Addie!

Sorry, I'm just going to go.

PHONE PINGS "This girl is deluded."

PHONE PINGS

"You can't change Juniper."

PHONE PINGS

Autistic kids can do anything, right?

What will Addie do next?

PHONE PINGS

"She's playing nice for neurotypicals."

That's Addie Darrow. The memorial girl.

Go witches!

Right, can we just focus on the witches?

You're a real inspiration.

Perfect role model. Thank you.

What's next? I don't know.

BELL TOLLS

So you do see yourself as an inspiration, then?

Oh, look, it's the inspiration.

Case for losers.

"One memorial doesn't erase the past."

"Talk about a hero complex."

"You don't inspire me."

PHONE PINGS

She's just like a crazy sister.

PHONE PINGS We're all sick of you, Addie!

It's not like it was in Juniper.

Having a meltdown, Addie?

Are you?

When did Juniper get so loud?

Oh!

DOOR CLOSES

Hello?

What is this place?

It's a book shop.

BELL RINGS

It feels frozen in time.

Thanks, Dad, don't think about it.

Love you, too. Bye.

So how is your dad?

Really weird, he, um...

He wants me to move to New York with him.

Yeah?

Which you definitely knew.

He mentioned it.

Brooklyn is an amazing place,

and coming here always felt like it was more about me than you.

There's a whole world out there, Audrey.

It's Addie, she's found something.

I have to go.

Talk it through later?

Yeah, I'd like that.

DOOR BELL TINKLES

Addie, what have you found?

An abandoned book shop. Be careful, the door's a bit broken.

DOOR CLOSES

Well...

Isn't it amazing?

Peaceful, calm,

like going back in time.

I'm not sure that we're allowed to be in here.

Oh, we're just visiting.

I don't think this place has had a visitor in a long time.

Someone just wrote that note, walked out and never came back.

Wonder where they went. It's a mystery.

Longest lunch break ever.

I don't know how you could leave somewhere so beautiful.

Something must have happened.

I wonder what?

DOOR OPENS

Someone's coming.

Oh.

The lock's gone on the door.

Still, it kept going for 80 years.

Well, what do you think?

It's disgusting.

Emily!

If you're going to be an estate agent,

you need to look beyond the mouldy old books

and see the incredible development opportunity beneath

once the mess is gone.

This sale is going to put Pamela Park's property

back on the map.

What was that?

Mm.

Rats probably.

Just one more day and I can finally sell this place.

Can't wait.

We should probably get out of here.

"Do Good Books."

Do good.

It's a sign,

don't you think?

Addie.

Everyone's been telling me I'm an inspiration,

wanting to know what's next.

The reporter,

that little girl,

those random people in the cafe,

waving and saying hello

and noticing me.

And then the trolls started.

Everything got louder.

The trolls? I started to feel a bit overwhelmed.

And it got so loud,

it felt like...

I had nowhere to go.

That's a lot.

Then I found this place.

It's like...

It's like the school library,

but in the holidays.

It's like water.

Like peace.

It's good.

It helps me.

Maybe it'll help other people, too.

But Pamela's selling the building.

We're going to stop her.

We're going to save Do Good Books.

PHONE PINGS

Another mean comment.

Fake news.

Just ignore them.

This news story was supposed to be a positive thing for Addie.

I'm going to comment back. Don't feed the troll!

LostGirl22 is just some keyboard warrior

with a grudge against Juniper.

They'll get bored soon

and move on to their next victim.

Bonnie!

Time for dinner, Bonnie.

Hmm. Yeah, just give me... just give me five minutes.

It's 6:45.

Dinner time, you know that.

You don't want it to get cold, do you?

No, of course not.

Good girl.

I love you.
