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.

 

J.J. Sugar was eight years old when he discovered that he could draw a koala better than anyone in his class. Wasting no time, he mapped out a life plan—escape the frigid wasteland of Canada for sunny California and work in the most glorious of all professions: animation!

Little did J.J. know, the year he found his GIFT, he would also find his CURSE.

 

Crohn's disease. As his doctor dropped the diagnosis and droned on about fever, stomach cramps, and diarrhea, J.J. realized he was no longer alone on the exam table. Sitting next to him was his disease—a giant, gross, insufferable creature named NORM.

J.J. was desperate to keep Norm hidden and stay NORMAL at any cost. 

The good news: his disease was INVISIBLE.

The bad news: Norm was determined to be seen!
