內容簡介

【一切失控,只有焦慮正常運作中】

一切失控時,該如何努力撐過難熬的一天?

美國圖書館協會(ALA)施耐德家庭圖書獎作者Rob Harrell,繼《Wink》再次為讀者獻上一段幽默動人的成長故事。

 

Andrew只想平順度過校園攝影日,但今天彷彿全世界都在和他作對:搞砸的科學實驗、爆走的番茄醬火箭、班上的霸凌仔…隨著那些倒楣事接二連三發生,他心中的不安與焦灼也逐漸沸騰,他最終的惡夢似乎要無可避免地成真:在所有人面前恐慌發作。

 

Andrews拼命、拼命壓下焦慮,但罹患失智症的奶奶失蹤的消息,終於讓他的負荷徹底潰堤…

 

本書取材自作者與焦慮和強迫症共處的的真實生命經驗,書中穿插的「焦慮檔案」漫畫小專欄,也提供了一些實用的應對方法,Rob Harrel以溫暖又不失幽默的筆觸,描繪了在內外混亂與失控中,如何在混亂與失控之中,如何學習放下控制,與焦慮共處,並熬過那看似糟透了的一天(接受一點來自他人的幫助沒關係!)

 
Winner of The Schneider Family Book Award

The beloved author of Wink is back with a hilarious and moving story about coping with anxiety on a day when everything is going wrong

Andrew’s just trying to make it through Picture Day, which is easier said than done when it seems like the whole world is out to get him—from a bully to a science experiment gone wrong to a someone else’s juice snot (don’t ask).

But as Andrew goes through the school day, and as one thing after another goes wrong, that little kernel of worry in his stomach is getting hotter and hotter, until it threatens to
pop and turn into a public panic attack, his worst fear. He tries to keep his anxiety at bay, but the news that his grandmother with Alzheimer’s is missing is too much.

Interspersed with humorous spot art and “anxiety file” panels that depict the real, difficult feelings of anxiety and OCD and real tips for coping, this is a poignant, personal, and laugh-out-loud funny story about letting go of control and accepting help—all while trying to get the perfect school picture.
