who is the mysterious fortune-teller, Lady Athena, whose
predictions keep coming true? Is it all just a case of smoke and

A humorous new book from the acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke
Yoshitake. Everyone has something that makes them feel
self-conscious. It might be the smell of your breath, the size of
your nose, or the way your shirt sleeves bunch up under your
jumper. At the centre of this story is a little boy who has a small
but embarrassing problem: every time he pees, a few drops dribble
on to his underpants. Curious, he asks other children if they have
the same issue. He soon discovers a simple life lesson: everyone is
battling some kind of irritation.

A harrowing yet hopeful account of a teen living with Tourette
Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder . . . and contemplating
his own morality. Ten: three little letters, one ordinary number.
No big deal, right? But 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. Finally, fed up with the daily humiliation,
loneliness, and physical pain he endures, Troy writes a list of ten
things to do by the tenth anniversary of his diagnosis--culminating
in suicide on the actual day. But the process of working his way
through the list changes Troy's life: he becomes friends with
Khory, a smart, beautiful classmate who has her own troubled
history. Khory unwittingly helps Troy cross off items on his list,
moving him ever closer to his grand finale, even as she shows him
that life may have more possibilities than he imagined. This is a
dark, intense story--with many trigger warnings--but it's also
realistic, hopeful, and deeply authentic.
