Description:
Embark on an emotional journey with 'Buzzing', a compelling middle grade graphic novel that beautifully explores themes of friendship, belonging, and the struggles of self-acceptance. Young readers will be captivated by Isaac Itkin, a twelve-year-old boy grappling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as he navigates the complexities of life and the overwhelming chorus of thoughts that fill his mind.
In this engaging graphic novel, Isaac feels the weight of his challenges, from the mundane tasks of studying to the mirror reflections that intensify his feelings of isolation. However, everything shifts when a group of friends extends an invitation to join their after-school role-playing game, offering him a glimpse of joy and connection.
Yet, the battle isn’t over. With advice from his therapist warning of the potential negative effects of games on children with OCD, and his mother’s protective instincts causing friction, Isaac faces a critical decision. Can he learn to manage his thoughts, prove his capabilities, and find solace within himself when the world seems to echo chaos? 'Buzzing' is more than a story; it's a reflection on growth and self-discovery, making it a must-read for both children and parents alike.

Description:
A moving middle grade graphic novel about friendship, belonging, and learning to love yourself despite the voices in your head.
Isaac Itkin can't get away from his thoughts.
As a lonely twelve-year-old kid with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), everything from studying to looking in the mirror becomes a battle between him and a swarm of unhelpful thoughts.
The strict therapy his mother insists on doesn't seem to be working, but when a group of friends invites him to join their after-school role-playing game, the thoughts feel a little less loud, and the world feels a little brighter.
But Isaac's therapist says that exposure to games can have negative effects on kids with OCD, and when his grades slip, his helicopter mother won't let him play anymore. Now Isaac needs to find a way to prove to himself, to his mother, and to the world that the way to quiet the noise in his head may have been inside him all along.
