This is a very good narrative of how a young man learns that he has a mental illness and how he deals with it on a day to day basis. Very eye opening

This book starts out rather slow and boring but quickly picks up and becomes a very good read . Glad I persevered and kept reading as if I hadn't I would have missed out on a very good plot and interesting story line .

OCDaniel is the best book, I have read so far, from my point of view. It is full of some teenage stuff, which makes this book more interesting.

Daniel is a thirteen-year-old boy constantly plagued by obsessive thoughts. He defines those feelings as “Zaps” which causes him to feel horrible after encountering one of his triggers, which include wrong numbers and the wrong amount of…

I picked "OCDaniel" up as an Ed-student looking to screen books I thought would be worth-while to collect for a classroom someday. OCD hits home for me and I thought the way it was described in "OCDaniel" was creative and accurate. King…

This is an excellent book for children. Not only does it serve as a great introduction to learning about anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it also deals with typical tween stuff like popularity, school relationships and…

I really like this book, not just because it is interesting and pulls you in, but because it shares such an important message. Personally, I can relate to Daniel because I really love writing, so if you like writing, I would recommend this…

Though written for a "youth" audience, I found the characters very realistic and well-developed. Five stars doesn't even seem enough praise for the excellent story-line and depiction of a teenager suffering with OCD. I highly recommend…

As an adult with OCD, I picked up this book with trepidation, but it was amazing. If I had read this as a tween or teen it would have changed my life. If discriptions of actual OCD behaviours trigger you, I'd skip it, but I thought it…

This children's book is valuable to teens and adults, too. On the outside Daniel’s life seems quite ordinary: he has a best friend, he’s on the football team, he has a crush on a gal. On the inside he’s a mess. With the help of a quiet…

King's descriptions of Daniel's OCD symptoms made me feel anxious and boxed-in just reading them, which made me love this book while also being a little grumpy about it. Definitely a great read for those looking for a funny, hopeful window…

OCDaniel is a wonderful book but I like that there is a sub-story in the main story

Many people characterize those who like cleanliness and order as OCD. How far from the truth is this! Reading this book provides the reader with the reality of this punishing mental illness. The rituals, fears and sense of aloneness…

Wow. This was a great book! It really gives you insight on OCD. Daniel's personality feels really real, as does the supporting characters. OCDaniel is a really inspiring and enthralling novel, and I would recommend it to everyone.

I never really understood OCD until I read this book. It really embodies someone living with OCD. I think the author did a very good job, and I recommend OCDaniel.

Wow. This book was really good. I liked how Daniel hated football but somehow he still helped. This has really opened my eyes to see how bad OCD can get and really, what OCD is. I could never understand what it was until I read this book.…

Red Maple winning author of The Vindico, Wesley King, has a sure winner here. OCDaniel is about a teen enduring obsessive compulsive disorder. Daniel is just like any teen boy--he loves video games, has a crush at school and reluctantly…

This book was well written and I appreciated that the author actually understood OCD and didn't create his character with the stereotypical cleaning obsession a lot of people associate with the disorder. I feel the author captured the…
