Buzzing (A Graphic Novel) by Samuel Sattin, Rye Hickman

5.0

Twelve-year old Isaac Itkin has OCD and can't get away from his buzzing thoughts, but things are looking up. A group of friends connect with Isaac after seeing his amazing dragon artwork and invite him to be a part of the Dungeons & Dragons group their starting. Believing it will worsen his OCD, his mom bans him from playing. But with the help of his new friends, RPGs, and unlikely allyship from his sister, Isaac will find himself, acceptance, and deepen his relationship with his mom and sister. A beautiful story of family, fun, and power of self-discovery. In addition to excellent neurodiversity rep, Buzzing has queer rep and racial diversity. It also showcases the power of having supportive adults in your life. 

Even though the protagonist is 12, this story will still appeal to some high school readers. Recommended for purchase for middle and high school libraries and public libraries.
