About

Andrew's just trying to get through school photo day with one aim: a photo of him which his mum will like. But today of all days, the world seems out to get him. There's a bully, the science experiment gone wrong, scary news about his grandmother, and someone else's juice snot (don't ask). Andrew struggles with anxiety, and the little kernel of worry in his stomach is getting hotter and hotter . . . Can he make it through the day without popping?

A heartfelt and laugh-out-loud-funny story about letting go of control and accepting help, interspersed with Rob Harrell's amazing spot art and comic panels that depict the real, difficult feelings of anxiety and OCD, as well as real tips for coping. Rob Harrell is a syndicated cartoonist (Adam@ Home) and his illustration clients include Mad magazine, Time Inc. and Volkswagen. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and dogs. He is the author of the novels WINK and POPCORN. Sometimes life turns up the heat ... Sometimes life turns up the heat ... A poignant and authentic story based on the author's own experiences of anxiety as a child A nuanced exploration of anxiety and OCD with real tips for coping, but very accessibly written in a warm, funny style and with a positive resolution Rob Harrell's follow-up to the critically acclaimed WINK, which was selected as one of Time Magazine's 10 Best YA and Children's books of 2020 With a mix of spot art and 'The Anxiety Files' comic panels, this is a visually exciting exploration of anxiety and OCD for children aged 10-12 Teacher's Notes will be available, enabling class discussions around the issues in the book
