Description

In this classic-feeling middle-grade story with a modern edge, a girl tries to hold her life together as friendship drama, family expectations, and the relentless pressure of OCD collide. When her routines and worries begin to take over, she must learn how to name what’s happening, ask for help, and find healthier ways to cope—without losing the parts of herself that make her brave and funny. Along the way, she discovers that connection isn’t about being perfect, but about being honest, supported, and willing to change. With Elly Swartz’s accessible, empathetic storytelling, this novel blends everyday middle-school moments with a thoughtful look at mental health, resilience, and the power of community.
