OCDaniel by Wesley King

4.0

The librarians and I had been searching far and wide for the perfect middle school novel to be the final addition to our Battle of the Books list for this year, and I found it with OCDaniel. This audiobook had me not wanting to get out of the car so I could keep listening to this gripping story of a boy overwhelmed by all the normal middle school things like sports and crushes, not to mention a murder investigation and the mysterious Zaps that cause him to avoid the number 4, turn light switches on and off, and go through a 3 hour bedtime routine every single night. I was hooked, and it actually sounded like a middle school kid! If your junior high doesn’t have this one on their shelves, they should.
