Isaiah (14 and a bit) is living the perfect and peaceful life in Baltimore, Maryland, when, suddenly, he acquires an alien resident orchestra in his right ear!
Our endearing hero has a doting mom whom he adores. He is best friends with Sammy and Rosa at a rigorous college prep school. He's a deep thinker, gets fantastic grades and loves video games. The lively story of Isaiah's battle with the unwelcome performers will keep you on the edge of your seat until the grande finale.
Written in free verse, the book offers a humorous yet serious look at the tinnitus challenges faced by Isaiah. It is a creatively and boldly illustrated graphic story geared towards pre-teens, teenagers, their parents and guardians, anyone who knows someone dealing with tinnitus, or anyone who would like to learn more about the condition which affects over 50 million Americans, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and about 30% of the worldwide population. The book includes resources to help people with tinnitus and advice for noise avoidance and tinnutus prevention.
