Book brought to diabetes support group meeting February 2013, for registration and International Diabetets Day release.

Thank you !

From back cover:
"August Pullman wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things. He eats ice cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside.

But August is far from ordinary. Ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go.

Born with a terrible facial abnormality, August has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?"

Book has been neatly covered to protect it on its journey, with a special sticker on the front.

Book handed out from the Maroondah Diabetes Support Group 'Sugarbeats' tent during Maroondah Festival - or somewhere in the grounds - during Sunday, November 9 2014.

Part #031 of the 'World Diabetes Day BookCrossing Release Challenge' 2014.

Enjoy, and happy reading !
