(3) YA Seventh grader Andrew just wants a nice school photo. But the day doesn’t go as planned: a bully rips his shirt; a basketball hits him in the face; and much worse, he learns his grandmother, who has Alzheimer’s, is missing. It all escalates until Andrew, who struggles with anxiety and OCD, has a panic attack. Andrew’s first-person narration, along with interspersed comic-style sketches, make for a story that’s serious but accessible to a middle-school audience. An author’s note and resources about anxiety, OCD, and Alzheimer’s are appended.
