"Isaac is a shy boy with OCD, but one day at school he meets new friends who introduce him to role-playing games, which lead him on a journey of self-discovery and growth"--

"Isaac Itkin can't get away from his thoughts. As a lonely twelve-year-old kid with obsessive-compulsive (OCD), everything from studying to looking in the mirror becomes a battle between him and a swarm of unhelpful thoughts. The strict therapy his mother insists on doesn't seem to be working, but when a group of creative friends invites him to join their after-school role-playing game, the intrusive thoughts feel a little less loud and the world, a little brighter. Isaac develops a crush on the kind and thoughtful Micah, and the buzz is a happy one. But Isaac's therapists says that exposure to games can have negative effects on kids with OCD, and when hhis grdes slip, his helicopter mother won't let him play anymore. Now Isaac needs to find a way to prove to himself, his mother, and the world that it's okay to be different." -- from publisher.
