OCDaniel

Which really means he's the water boy. He spends football practice perfectly arranging water cups-and hoping no one notices. Actually, he spends most of his time hoping no one notices his OCD habits-he calls them Zaps: avoiding writing the number four, for example, or flipping a light switch on and off dozens of times over.

But everything changes when a girl at school, who is unkindly nicknamed Psycho Sara, notices him for the first time. She doesn't just notice him: she seems to peer through him. Then Daniel gets a note: "I need your help," it says, signed, Fellow Star Child-whatever that means.

And suddenly Daniel, a total no one at school, is swept up in a mystery that changes everything for him. With great voice and grand adventure, this book is about feeling different and finding those who understand.
