Thirteen-year-old Daniel is secretly terrified that he's crazy. Sara, a kindred spirit who knows she's mentally ill, asks for help investigating her father's disappearance. This mystery plot line is engaging--and ultimately very sad--but Daniel's ups (friendships, newfound football success, completing his novel) and downs (increasingly disruptive thoughts and rituals) are the true focus of this complex, affecting portrait of a young teen coping with undiagnosed OCD.
