Astronomy-loving Calliope June has Tourette's syndrome, so she sometimes makes faces or noises that she doesn't mean to make. When she and her mother move yet again, she tries to hide her TS. But it isn't long before the kids at her new school realize she's different. Only Calliope's neighbor, who is also the popular student body president, sees her as she truly is - an interesting person and a good friend. But is he brave enough to take their friendship public?
As Calliope navigates school, she must also face her mother's new relationship and the fact that they might be moving - again - just as she starts to make friends and finally accept her differences.
Ellie Terry's affecting debut will speak to a wide audience about being true to oneself.

It should be read in schools so that stupid children think before they label someone as weird, because it might make them think twice and avoid a lot of hurt and hate. Also so the ones who feel different realise they are not alone, to help them find the courage to stand up to the bullies and be who they are not who anyone thinks they should be.
Calliope is braver than I could ever manage to be. The one person who should always be in her corner is too self centered to even notice anything except the fact that she doesn't fit. I am a grown woman with children who have additional needs, who currently wants to punch a fictional character for adding to her daughters burdens when they are already enough to break most people.
Children's fiction shouldn't leave you feeling so broken inside, but then in a perfect world we wouldn't need the books like this, to tell the stories of the ones who are different but not less.
A Middle Grade Book that anyone who feels different should read
