It's Kind of a Funny Story meets Turtles All the Way Down in this
harrowing yet hopeful account of a teen living with Tourette
syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder while contemplating his
own mortality. Ten: three little letters, one ordinary number. For
Troy Hayes, a 16-year-old suffering from Tourette syndrome and
obsessive-compulsive disorder, the number ten dictates his life,
forcing him to do everything by its exacting rhythm. Fed up with
the humiliation, loneliness, and physical pain, Troy creates a list
of ten things to do by the tenth anniversary of his diagnosis
culminating in suicide. But the process of working his way through
the list changes Troy. He becomes friends with Khory, who
unwittingly helps Troy cross off items on his list, even as she
shows him that life may have more possibilities than he imagined.
