Last summer my friend and I got into watching Americas Got Talent. One of our favorite performers was Samuel Comroe, an actor with Tourette Syndrome (妥瑞氏綜合征). He is brave enough to face disorder (疾病).

Like Samuel Comroe, writer Ellie Terry has the disorder, too. Her novel Forget Me Not tells a story of Calliope June, a middle school girl with Tourette Syndrome. Calliope sometimes makes faces or strange noises. She can't control herself. The doctor advises her to keep her disorder a secret(秘密), but that only makes things worse. Her classmates begin to make fun of her. It's hard for her to start a friendship.

Calliope and her mother move a lot. After their most recent move, Calliope makes friends with Jinsong. He lives in the apartment next door. Outside school, he can accept Calliope's differences. He thinks she's an interesting person. In school, however, things are different. Jinsong is the school’s student government president(主席) and also the most popular boy in class. It seems that he has to choose between being popular and staying friends with Calliope. As he grows, he learns that he can have both things. As for Calliope, she learns to accept and be open about her disorder and starts to make more friends finally.
