Finding Perfect

To twelve-year-old Molly Nathans, perfect is defined by things like the number four, a newly sharpened No. 2 pencil, a white pad of paper, and neatly aligned glass animal figurines. However, her perfectionism leads to obsessive compulsive disorder, impacting her relationships and ability to cope with her mother's absence due to a job. As she struggles to bring her mother back by winning a poetry contest, Molly learns that there is no such thing as perfect. This middle-grade novel explores themes of friendship, family, and mental health.
