Fourteen-year-old Monica invents a game that she hopes will lessen her serious anxiety about making choices: faced with any decision, she makes up four wildly different answers and chooses one at random. Her strange behavior garners some attention--and eventually, some help. Tashjian's story is cleverly constructed, and readers with obsessive tendencies will find it especially absorbing.
