Flu Shot Fidgets
by L. M. Nicodemo
illustrated by Graham Ross
Quick-thinking Max invents a secret game to try to stay calm at the doctor's office.
Meet Maximus Todd! He's the kid who can't sit still! Max calms his fears about getting a needle at the doctor's office by playing a game that involves all the animals on the farm. Can he make it out of the office without everyone thinking he's coming down with more than the fidgets?
Max finds that while it's not always easy being a kid -- especially if you're a bit different -- there is often humour, kindness and love in the most unexpected places.

Reviews
"The target audience will surely have no trouble relating to the storylines. The blend of fun graphics by Graham Ross, with varying sizes and designs of text in the quickly paced 96 pages, will be appealing to both beginning and reluctant readers.
The series is written by a teacher who clearly has insight into the mind of a child who feels the type of anxiety that Max does, presumably because she has encountered some throughout her career. While it may be rare to have a child as young as Max display the self-awareness and strength of will that he does, perhaps these books will serve as inspiration to children facing the same difficulties with their own Super Fidgets.
The four books were published concurrently for Formac's First Novels Series, in a format that should prove to be attractive to young readers."
