"In this honest and humorous graphic-novel memoir, the author shares his experiences growing up with undiagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder and shows readers the importance of empathy for oneself and those going through something they donât yet understand. Simultaneous and eBook. Illustrations." - Penguin Putnam
Growing up with undiagnosed OCD sure isnât easy, and here Pan Cooke shares his own experiences with that condition in a graphic-novel memoir that is as funny as it is powerfully candid and openhearted.
Pan Cooke is ten years old when anxious thoughts begin to take over his brain like pieces of an impossible puzzle. What if he blurts out a swear word while in church? What if he accidentally writes something mean in his classmateâs get-well card? What if his friendâs racy photo of a supermodel ends up in his own homework and is discovered by his teacher? More and more, he becomes hijacked by fears that can only be calmed through exhausting, time-consuming rituals.
Pan has no way of knowing that this anxiety puzzle and the stressful attempts to solve it are evidence of a condition called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. This is his story of living with and eventually learning about OCD. Told with endearing honesty and humor, Puzzled shows the reader the importance of empathy for oneself and those going through something they donât yet understand.
