Twelve-year-old Kevin is relieved to finally have an explanation for his strange tics and outbursts that constantly get him in trouble at school and alienate him from his friends-but what does it mean to be diagnosed with Tourette syndrome (TS)? When his attempts to educate his classmates and teachers about his involuntary behaviors fail, the school recommends that his parents send him to a special institution. Refusing to let TS dictate her son's life, his mother decides to send Kevin to TICtasTIC, a summer camp for kids with TS. Kevin, however, is against the idea, thinking his parents are merely trying to get rid of him. But when he finally arrives and meets other kids like him, he's surprised by a sense of hope that perhaps he has a bright future after all. Written for kids and teens with TS, Camp Peanut Butter is an inspiring and educational novel that is a must-read for parents and teachers, as well. The story of young Kevin will build kids' confidence as they learn not to hide behind their tics, but to bravely be themselves and share their own stories with the people in their lives.
