pickThe shock abduction of a toddler – and the fact that Matthew was last to observe the boy – throws Matthew into the position of crime solver. That's difficult because Matthew has OCD & can't bear leaving his room, or being near the dirty world. What unfolds is a tightly written, life-affirming middle grade mystery. Matthew's condition, while character defining, does not, ultimately, hijack his future or the narrative.
