Did you know there was magic in a sneeze Eddie finds out all about the power of a sneeze -- and how one'ss differences can actually be a plus -- in Eddie Has Allergies, a funny tale of the sinus-challenged and the fantasies the afflicted can sometimes encounter. Poor Eddie spends most of the year under the weather, due to horrible allergies that keep him from doing what most kids like to do. And the medicines he takes usually make him even groggier, leading him to fall asleep in class, resulting in rather bizarre dreams. He feels like he'ss alone in this nightmare -- until a magical mentor helps him discover a bright side to his dilemma. Prose, poetry, and silly puns thread their way through this humorous tale, where a young boy finds there is greatness in everyone, including himself. This book is entertaining for all ages, but will particularly appeal to ages 9-12.

I would drift off in class, uncertain whether it was my sinuses or the antihistamines making me zone out's8212;which made no difference, because ultimately I was somewhere on another planet! Yet, the way my imagination compensated certainly helped shape who I am today.'s8221;
