DESCRIPTION:

Connor Bradley is dreading the first day of high school, because he has Tourette Syndrome, and every day has been a challenge from the mimicking to the laughing, the questions, and the stares. Connor forms a fast friendship with a girl who also has Tourette's and is welcomed into her accepting circle of friends. But Connor's world is turned upside down when his absent father reappears and a bully starts to escalate at school. All these problems build until Connor feels ready to explode. Will a surprising revelation save him and help him find his beat again? The Beat I Drum offers an empathetic look at a misunderstood syndrome, the therapeutic value of music, and the power of forgiveness.
