If you spend time outdoors or have pets that go outdoors, you need to beware of ticks. Ticks are small bloodsucking parasites. Many species transmit diseases to animals and people. Some of the diseases you can get from a tick bite are Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. Some ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see. Ticks may get on you if you walk through areas where they live, such as tall grass, leaf litter or shrubs.

RJ Palacio's debut children's novel, Wonder, has a 10-year-old hero called August Pullman. 'Auggie', as he is known by his friends, is blighted by a severe facial deformity. But if his looks are almost comically freakish, his character is one of the most engaging and lovable in recent fiction. He is kind, courageous, smart, sweet, very perspicacious and extremely funny.
