Book Overview

From the director of the Captain Underpants movie and Turbo comes a heavily illustrated middle grade novel full of humor and heart that captures the rollercoaster ride of growing up with an invisible disability. For fans of Wink and Wonder!

"A hilarious and unforgettable tale of triumph over trauma that nobody can see."--Dav Pilkey, author and illustrator of Dog Man

J.J. Sugar was only eight years old when he discovered that he could really draw. Like...better than anyone else in class (no offense to the other kids!). After winning a citywide poster design contest, his dream of becoming an animator was born.

Unfortunately for J.J., that same year, he also discovered his curse. After not feeling well for several weeks, he went to the doctor for some tests. (Actually, lots and lots and lots of tests.) And when his doctor dropped the diagnosis--Crohn's disease--J.J. was suddenly no longer alone on the exam table. Sitting next to him was a giant, sarcastic, leather-wearing CREATURE: Norm, the not-so-invisible embodiment of J.J.'s chronic disease. And Norm seems bent on ruining his life.

Now, J.J. must navigate the twists and turns of middle school and his bowels. But maybe he won't have to do it alone...
