The Beat I Drum, Paperback

Connor Bradley is dreading the first day of high school. Not just because he is new, or because he misses his best friends, but because he knows the other kids won't understand his barking and tics. Connor has Tourette Syndrome, and every day has been a challenge-from the mimicking to the laughing, the questions, and the stares.
