British boy Matthew's OCD has consumed him: he can't go to school, he over-washes his hands, and he barely leaves the window in his room. But when a neighborhood toddler disappears, he must overcome his fears to help solve the mystery. Thompson realistically captures Matthew's anxiety and first foray back into the world, though the disclosure of his disorder's origin is simplistic and the resolution too neat.
