Her mother was embarrassed of her daughter's condition and Jingsong, even though he secretly liked Calli, didn't have the strength of character to stand up in front of his friends and stop their harassment.
It was only after I read the Author's Note that I discovered that the author also suffers from Tourettes, and that Calli's tics and struggles mirrored her own.Calli's mother and their neighbour, Jingsong, annoyed and frustrated me. She was such a tenacious young girl who picked herself up and continued on, and fought back despite her loneliness and hurt. My heart bled for Calli all the way through this story. Not only does she have to cope with the spontaneous tics and sounds that she has no control of, but she also has to deal with the verbal abuse and teasing from her peers. She has just moved to another new school and is struggling to fit in.Calli's struggles are heart-wrenching. Written in free verse, it tells the story of thirteen-year-old Calli who suffers from Tourettes Syndrome.
