This is a book you don't want to miss. Simple, and beautiful, and heartfelt. You'll laugh, and cheer, and sigh, get angry, maybe even cry. The poetry is fantastic and the story is worth reading no matter you're age.

And I set my mind to do this:
I am going to the moon.

Super cute middle grades book about a girl with Tourettes.
Solid debut novel -- the book just flows from page to page, telling the story of Calliope June -- always moving, interested in astronomy and rocks, girl with long blonde hair and secret Tourette's. It alternates short prose from Jinsong, high achieving boy who lives next door in the apartment Callie has just moved into -- Jinsong who finds her fascinating and lovely, but keeps weighing what it will cost him in school popularity to admit this. There's a bit of beginning romance here, just a little. There's a lot of problematic behavior from Callie's mother.
It's a great book, and I appreciate the author's note talking about living with Tourette's.
