About this ebook
A determined boy learns to manage his OCD.
Malik's obsessive-compulsive disorder means his brain wants him to do everything on the count of four. When he’s invited to a minigolf birthday party, Malik is excited. But he worries about his Number Thoughts. If he has to take four tries to get the ball in the hole, he’ll never win—and everyone might make fun of him. Can Malik say "no" to his Number Thoughts?
