The truth is . . . Thomas has an embarrassing secret.
Is it a rare and special gift or the worst thing that could happen to a boy?
When Thomas is faced with an itchy problem that he thinks is the most embarrassing secret he's ever had, he doesn't know is that this problem will lead him on an epic journey from Australia to Paris, filled with laughter, friendship, and self-discovery.
Throughout the story, Thomas will encounter challenges and obstacles, but with the help of his best friends, he'll learn that there is no such thing as an embarrassing secret, and that everyone's quirks make them unique and special.
Doubting Thomas is a touching and entertaining portrayal of childhood and the power of friendship and self-acceptance, making it a must-read for all ages.
