![]() She’s always been tight with her two best friends Fatima and Elise, but Elise, who has high hopes for her role in the summer musical, begins to act distant when Shannon, to everyone’s surprise, is cast in the play in the role Elise hoped for. In addition to working on/through her OCD, Shannon is also dealing with all the typical issues that come with middle school. Her friends and family all know about it, and sure, they don’t always say or do the right thing, but everyone is trying to be helpful, compassionate, and understanding. She’s in therapy and works hard to talk about how she feels, what her triggers are, and what she can do to get through her worst moments. OCD is just a piece of it, and it’s a piece of it she’s learning to live with and cope with. Here we meet Shannon, who has OCD, but-of course-she also has a lot of other things happening in her life. ![]() Thank goodness for there now being SO MANY wonderful books that address mental health issues. ![]()
