And suddenly Daniel, a total no one at school, is swept up in a mystery that might change everything for him. Then Daniel gets a note: 'I need your help,' it says, signed, Fellow Star Child-whatever that means. She doesn't just notice him: she seems to peer through him. His life gets weirder when another girl at school, who is unkindly nicknamed Psycho Sara, notices him for the first time.

He hopes no one notices that he's crazy, especially his best friend Max, and Raya, the prettiest girl in school. Actually, he spends most of his time hoping no one notices his strange habits-he calls them Zaps: avoiding writing the number four, for example, or flipping a light switch on and off dozens of times over. He spends football practice perfectly arranging water cups-and hoping no one notices. Daniel is the back-up punter for the Erie Hills Elephants. Written from Daniel's point of view, this perceptive first-person narrative is sometimes painful, sometimes amusing, and always rewarding.' - Booklist (starred review) From the author of Incredible Space Raiders from Space comes a brand-new coming-of-age story about a boy whose life revolves around hiding his obsessive compulsive disorder-until he gets a mysterious note that changes everything.
