About This Book
The quiet hum of the classroom fades as Calliope June feels a sudden tickle in her throat, a telltale sign of her Tourette syndrome. Faces turn, whispers start, but one person looks beyond the noise to see her true self: a starry-eyed friend who loves astronomy and is just beginning to shine. With every new move and every new challenge, Calliope learns that being different might be her greatest strength.
