But the book provided amazing depictions of OCD and other mental illnesses, and it did not sugar-code anything. This would be impressive for any book, let alone a middle-grade novel.
I listened to the audiobook in one day and it had me feeling so many emotions. It was funny, mysterious, adventurous, heartwarming, fun, informative, but also was dark and sad.
I was amazed how the book had so much going on beyond Daniel’s OCD- including a full on, epic, criminal investigation?!
I have experienced OCD for as long as I could remember and I got chills realizing that there is a book with a kid as a main character whose variety of symptoms were so much like mine as a child/ early teenager.
Added it straight to my favorites list.
