To help make all of her decisions, she uses a d20 dice, but what happens when it doesn't give her the answer that she wants? Just Roll With It follows Maggie, a girl who struggles with OCD and is just trying to get through her first year in middle school. I also liked the information in the back matter about how the book was developed. (They still play, but now that they are fathers, less often.) I appreciated the incidental diversity in the characters. It took me back to the days when my sons were engrossed in Dungeons and Dragons. I liked the inclusion of the role playing game. I liked that we see how therapy helped Maggie. By the end of the book, she realizes she needs help and goes to see one. Her parents suggest she see a therapist, but despite the evidence, Maggie insists she is fine. She carries a 20 sided die with her and rolls it continuously to help her make decisions.

On the down side, one of her sisters might be leaving home, and there seems to be some kind of low crawling creature/monster lurking outside the school. She makes a new friend, joins an after school club, and seems to be settling in well. In spite of this, her new year in middle school starts out well. It is a story about a young girl with anxiety/OCD issues. Thanks to Max at Completely Full Bookshelf for introducing me to this title.
