He spends football practices perfectly arranging the water cups and imagining what would happen if monsters attacked the field. Actually he spends most of his time hoping no one notices his strange habits—he calls them Zaps: avoiding writing the number 6, for example, or flipping a light switch on and off dozens of times over. He finds comfort in working on his novel, titles, The Last Kid on Earth, but mostly he hopes no one notices that he's crazy. 

Daniel's life takes a bizarre turn when he gets a note: "I'll need your help." it says, signed Fellow Star Child—whatever that means. Suddenly Daniel, a total no one at school, is swept up in a mystery that might change everything for him. 

With great voice and grand adventure, this book is about feeling different and finding those who understand.

Back of Book: 

In this prequel to OCDaniel, Sara quests for “normal” and finds something even better along the way.

Sara’s Rules to be Normal

1. Stop taking your pills

19. Make a friend

137. Don’t put mayonnaise on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Sara wants one thing: to be normal. What she has instead are multiple diagnoses from Dr. Ring. Sara’s constant battle with False Alarm—what she calls panic attacks—and other episodes cause her to isolate herself. She rarely speaks, especially not at school, and so she doesn’t have any friends. But when she starts group therapy she meets someone new. Talkative and outgoing Erin doesn’t believe in “normal,” and Sara finds herself in unfamiliar territory: at the movies, at a birthday party, and with someone to tell about her crush—in short, with a friend. But there’s more to Erin than her cheerful exterior, and Sara begins to wonder if helping Erin will mean sacrificing their friendship.
