Ärger hat Jacob wirklich genug am Hals mit seinem Asthma. Allergisch ist er gegen beinahe alles: Pistazien, Blütenblätter, Milchshakes, Pizza und vieles mehr, aber vor allem dagegen, dass man ihn als Kranken behandelt. Nach langen Kämpfen setzt er sich durch, dass er eine normale Schule besuchen kann, doch schon der erste Schultag geht gründlich daneben – noch während der Stunde haut er ab... David Getz schildert eindrucksvoll den unermüdlichen und verbissenen Kampf um Normalität, die Jacob so nötig braucht wie die Luft zum Atmen.
