Product Description
Andrew's just trying to get through school photo day with one aim: a photo of him which his mum will like. But today of all days, the world seems out to get him. There's a bully, the science experiment gone wrong, scary news about his grandmother, and someone else's juice snot (don't ask). Andrew struggles with anxiety, and the little kernel of worry in his stomach is getting hotter and hotter... Can he make it through the day without popping?
A heartfelt and laugh-out-loud-funny story about letting go of control and accepting help, interspersed with Rob Harrell's amazing spot art and comic panels that depict the real, difficult feelings of anxiety and OCD, as well as real tips for coping.

It's school photo day for seventh grader Andrew. With his mother starting a new job and his grandmother, 'G', diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he has a lot on his plate. As the day continues, every small thing goes wrong and Andrew's anxiety escalates. Fighting off a panic attack, he tries to get through the day without his anxiety kernel popping. A humorous, sensitively-written book about how it feels to experience anxiety and panic attacks that would appeal to fans of Remy Lai's books.
