The Umbrella Gang
Do you find school difficult? Maybe you might even have dyslexia, autism, or some other form of neurodiversity. We invite you to read this comic story about five friends who help each other focus less on their school struggles and more on their "superpowers".
Volume 1
Welcome to St. Shelters School, home to pupils of all ages, shapes, sizes and types. Meet Siena and the gang as they navigate school, friendship, bullies and being neurodiverse students around their friends and teachers. Join us for Volume 1 of The Umbrella Gang!
Volume 2
It’s time for the gang to transition to their first year of secondary school! They are all proud of their neurodiversity and together have found ways to thrive in primary school, despite the obstacles neurodiversity can have in a school environment. But what will it be like for them in secondary school? Will the classes be bigger? Will the teachers be strict? Let's find out!
Volume 3
Welcome to Hurdleton High! Three years after the events of The Umbrella Gang Volume 2, two new pupils at the school Ruben and Elena arrive. The siblings are both neurodiverse and really nervous about starting at a new school... Let’s find out how they get on.
Volume 4
This is the 4th and final volume of The Adventures of the Umbrella Gang. The story takes place at Umbrella Heights, a few years after Siena, Marcus, Andy, Josh and Charlotte have all graduated and left school. Instead we join Ruben, Elena, and a cast of new inspiring young pupils - who continue the Umbrella Gang's great legacy of empowering pupils.
