"Even though we're extraordinary, I think we could still use a little help."

This was so good. I absolutely loved this. The plot was beautiful and sweet, and the characters were all so realistic and developed naturally. I loved their character arcs, and it was honestly addicting.

I would very strongly recommend this book.

If I could, I would give this a 3.5. I lean towards a 3 because overall it was just okay for me. In someways the explanation of Daniel’s challenges were oversimplified and lacked depth. However, in others ways, I do think the simplicity made it very appropriate for middle school aged readers. I like that this book created a relatable and likable character as it normalized the mental health struggles both Daniel and Sara experience. While the book was not for me, I am looking forward to recommending it to several of my students.

This was a very hard read for me for personal reasons. For my mental health I just couldn’t finish it.

Nice #ownvoices murder/mystery. Multiple points of appeal. Diverse cast. No more spoilers.

I say it every time...but middle grade books just hit different. This was no exception. It did a phenomenal job of portraying the real struggles of OCD, fitting in with middle schoolers, having crushes, and then somehow worked in a murder investigation (!) It was adorable, heartwarming, and well-done.

Daniel is battling OCD. He also is playing football in spite of his hatred towards it to please his father. Additionally, Daniel is writing a book and going through the throes of his first crush. Having lived with someone with this disease, a lot of the OCD details hit home for me. This book could work for older kids or for teens.
