Buzzing gave me a great understanding of what it's like to have OCD.
Isaac lives with OCD, which reveals itself visually with bees flying around him constantly, telling him negative comments about himself. When the OCD gets stronger, the bees swarm more and more, keeping him from enjoying and experiencing the moment.

Despite it being the centerpiece of the story, the DnD bits couldn’t keep my interest, so I started skipping through most of them.
Instead, where this story shined for me was the visual representation of OCD/intrusive thoughts, and the acknowledgment of how parents are trying but don’t have all the answers. It also touched on how some siblings get overlooked when another sibling has a disorder.
I think the artwork fits well!

After reading Sunshine by Jarrett J. Krosoczka I picked this one up for something similar to this except that it had a lot more fantasy aspects inside this and wow did it deliver since there were so many good things about it, where do I even begin. It starts with a flashback with the main character Ben living his life with both his parents at the time but then it cuts to the present day with his sister Saoirse and their mother disappeared in the past and they haven't seen them ever since. For some reason Saoirse discovers a magic white glowing coat that allows her to go under the sea since she is a selkie much to Ben and his father's shock; the father then proceeds to dispose of the coat. A few pages in Ben and Saoirse were forcibly taken away by their grandmother to the city apparently to protect them but anyways Saoirse disappears so Ben goes off to find her which takes up most of the novel and I liked the parts where the Irish mythology is explained though I couldn't actually pronounce the Irish words; there is a handy glossary at the back to clear things up. Now with that being said Ben goes off alone across so much distance it's hard to believe how he even got to the end alive but he did find his sister along with his mother; she couldn't return to him because she was never human and if she went to the human world everything would fall apart, so there, that's the reason.… (mais)

This was fantastic, the art style was interesting and dynamic, the story line was relatable and well told, I really enjoy the trend in graphic novels depicting kids with different experiences, I'm looking forward to recommending this at my library!
