When everything around you is going wrong, how far would you go to fit in?

Isaac's sixth grade year gets off to a rough start.

For one thing, a tornado tears the roof off the school cafeteria. His mother leaves on a two month business trip to China. And as always. . . . there's the itch. It comes out of nowhere. Idiopathic, which means no one knows what causes it. It starts small, but it spreads, and soon--it's everywhere. It's everything. It's why everyone calls him Itch--everyone except his best friend Sydney, the only one in all of Ohio who's always on his side, ever since he moved here.

He's doing the best he can to get along--until everything goes wrong in the middle of a lunch swap. When Sydney collapses and an ambulance is called, Itch blames himself. And he's not the only one. When you have no friends at all, wouldn't you do anything--even something you know you shouldn't--to get them back?

Drawing on her own experiences with idiopathic angioedema and food allergies, Polly Farquhar spins a tale of kids trying to balance the desire to be ordinary with the need to be authentic--allergies, itches, confusion and all.

For everyone who's ever felt out of place, this debut novel set in the Ohio heartland is a warm, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking look at middle school misfits and misadventures. Whether you root for the Buckeyes or have no clue who they are, you'll be drawn into Itch's world immediately. This engaging debut is perfect for fans of See You in the Cosmos and Fish in a Tree.

Pretty in Pink!
Special Size Type: Full Zip, Size: Large, Color: Flamingo Pink
I wear this jacket almost every day! The color is a pretty bubblegum pink and is just as shown in the ad. Being high quality, it does not fade nor bleed when you wash it, it is true to size but does have stretch for comfort. You can put this in the dryer and it does not shrink! The pockets are a decent size and have zippers to keep your items safe. It is thick enough to keep you warm but not too thick to where you will overheat. Perfect for a breezy day!

Love this skirt. It’s is cute on with a hidden cell pocket. Got compliments first time I wore it. I bought this as an alternative to shorts. I like the material - easy to pack.
