"Introducing..... Sasha Abramowitz" by Sue Halpern

http://www.amazon.com/Introducing-Sasha-...

Sasha, 11, lives in the dorm at Krieger College with her professor parents. Her older brother has Tourette's syndrome and goes to a boarding school. Sasha doesn't talk easily about Danny, even to her therapist, but she is able to talk to her neat babysitter, Andrew Hardy, who plays baseball for the college. Danny's unexpected return home brings things to a head. Although a series of amazing coincidences links the lives of several characters from various times and places in Abramowitz family history, the plot feels natural, never forced. Sasha's narration reveals her to be precocious but believable. Her maturation is subtle and realistic as she develops from a scrappy child who denies all feelings about Danny's illness to a kind friend who views him with clear-eyed compassion. Her straight-faced wit makes her kin to E. L. Konigsburg's heroines. Facts about Tourette's remain in the background, and nothing about the book is preachy"

This book is WONDERFUL! We are raising our 11 year old nephew who has Tourette's, along with several other things, and he really needed some help understanding Tourette's so that he could explain it to his peers. He's been picked on at school because of his tics and we wanted something that he could read and understand. This fit the bill! THANK YOU, ADAM! He's reading Adam and the Magic Marble now. He said its a little harder to read (he's a little behind in reading skills than most 11 y/o's) but its a good read. He took it to bed tonight to read more."
