Reviews
Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. Makes you realise what a debilitating condition OCD is. Loved the main character and was with him all the way. A very useful book to recommend to children with anxiety issues in Years 5, 6 and upwards. And a real page turner. I was just dying to know who took the boy!
