Meet the compelling, charismatic 13-year-old Augustus Constantine, a boy whose mind (and mouth) operate at a different speed than the rest of society. Gus has ADHD, and he\u2019s on medication to help him focus. Misuse of his medication is a recipe for disaster. At the Speed of Gus takes readers through a frenetic, twist-filled day that is the result of that misuse.<\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

He isn\u2019t fitting in well at school. His grades are slipping. He\u2019s even lashing out at those who love him.<\/p>\n
Talented Australian artist Mel Tregonning created Small Things in the final year of her life. In her emotionally rich illustrations, the boy\u2019s worries manifest as tiny beings that crowd around him constantly, overwhelming him and even gnawing away at his very self. The striking imagery is all the more powerful when, overcoming his isolation at last, the boy discovers that the tiny demons of worry surround everyone, even those who seem to have it all together.<\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
