Just Roll With It

 

Maggie keeps a D-20 die with her at all times. She rolls it every time she needs to make a decision. Everything from whether to make a new friend to answering quesitons in class - it is detrmined by a roll of the die.

As Maggie settles into middle school she joins the RPG Club and makes a wonderful new group of friends who love Role Playing Games just as much as she does. 

But, there's a problem. A monster is stalking the grounds of Lilac Middle School. A mysterious monster that is rustling around the school grounds and eating bicycles. (no problem there, right?)

As the monster draws nearer to the school, will Maggie be able to conquer her fears and track down the monster?

I loved this book for so many reason - but most of all, I love the view of Maggie's struggle with OCD/Anxiety Disorder. The compulsions are very real, and the author and illustrator do a fantastic job of showing how Maggie struggles with her compulsions while showing very real bravery and tenacity. The family and friends support Maggie no matter what,  helping her grow into her very best version of herself.
