This is a heartwarming book about a girl named Marvel who struggles with anxiety. This book had me in tears because I can relate to struggling with anxiety. The growth that Marvel experiences throughout this book is very realistic. Marvel learns that she may always have anxiety but it doesn’t have to be all consuming. 


Quotes
“Another thing I hate about having anxiety is all the stuff, it stops me from trying.

“Of all the ways my anxiety hurts me, the loneliness might be the most painful.” 

Courage comes from many sources, the most powerful of which is love.” 

Concerns 
During the play, Marvel played the character Peter and Theo played Aunt Dete. I didn’t like that because the characters name could have been changed.
