(3) 4-6 Carrie struggles through seventh grade as a newly diagnosed Tourette's syndrome sufferer. Her parents ignore the disorder, so Carrie feels alone as she tries to control her tics and navigate two complex friendships. This readable, compelling novel incorporates much information about Tourette's but is primarily about feeling out of place. An author's note answers basic questions about the disorder.
