The Year My Life Went Down The Toilet
Meet twelve-year-old Al Schneider, a girl navigating the wild, often embarrassing world of middle school while carrying a secret that weighs on her mind—and her stomach. The Year My Life Went Down The Toilet is a funny, honest middle-grade novel about health, friendship, and finding your voice when life feels chaotic. It's perfect for readers ages 9–13 who want a story that blends humor with heart and reminds them they’re not alone.
In The Year My Life Went Down The Toilet, the story unfolds through Al's candid, diary-like narration as she moves from crowded hallways to the nerve-wracking world of doctors and feelings about girls. The book balances giggles with real talk about Crohn's disease and the everyday moments that make middle school both ridiculous and brave. A near-disastrous gym class moment kicks off the turning point that brings a colonoscopy into the spotlight—and with it, a diagnosis that reshapes Al's days and her courage. The warmth of her mom, the loyalty of her best friend, and the guidance of her gastroenterologist weave a supportive web that shows how honesty can lighten a heavy load.
Written with humor, empathy, and a steady pace, The Year My Life Went Down The Toilet invites readers into Al's world through witty dialogue, relatable scenes, and moments of resilience. Whether it's an awkward conversation about health, a misfit crush, or a small victory in school, the book treats vulnerability as strength and shows that you don't have to pretend to be okay to be okay.
