This book was a great read as it challenges the reader to see things and life in a different perspective. Sam Carrier suffers from Tourettes Syndrome, a condition that causes his body to be in near constant movement with verbal outbursts and tics and twitches. This novel follows his journey through understanding his condition, finding the truth about his father who died when he was an infant, combating the cruel world as a teenager and growing up.
Jonathan Friesen also suffers from Tourettes and has written this novel with great insight as to how it is being a teenager with this syndrome. Life is hard enough as a teenager, let alone with Tourettes.
(A Level 1 wide reading novel)
Who would enjoy this? People who like real-life novels and who enjoy reading other perspectives on life and the hardships that others face
