5.0

I am absolutely loving these middle grade books highlighting mental illnesses. While this one mainly focuses on OCD, it really encompasses a wide variety of deep feelings... and helps the reader understand what it is like to live with anxieties like this. I also appreciate the mystery storyline running throughout, as well as the sports (football) references and romance. This novel really speaks to the experience of middle school kids -- a very well-rounded story with lots of potential connections. Would be an excellent read-aloud for grades 7/8.
