The Unlikely Hero in 13B by Teresa Toten

This book revolves around the life of a teenager named Adam Ross.  He is living a difficult life with numerous issues.  His issues include divorced parents along with half siblings, a series of disturbing letters his mom continues to receive, and the biggest of all- his OCD.  Obsessive Compulsive Disorder involves needing to have your life and materials in a certain matter obsessively.  It involves completing certain rituals at different times.  These symptoms characterize the type of OCD Adam faces.  He is forced to join a support group to help him with his OCD.  Here, he falls in love with a girl named Robyn and hopes to create a relationship with.  My favorite character is Adam because he represents teens today who are facing all kinds of life affecting disorders.  I rate this book a 10 out of 10 and would recommend it to friends because it brings attention to what many teenagers go through.

“The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B” is about a boy named Adam who has OCD and divorced parents- so he is anything but ordinary!  He meets in a room with other people who have OCD and this room is 13B.  Adam is conflicted with all that goes on in his life until he meets a girl that attends the same group.  Adam falls in love quickly, and I shall not say more about how this book escalates.  I would recommend this book to friends because it teaches you how difficult life can be for some people, and to not judge or hurt those people in any way.  I would say this book is a 5 out of 5 because it has everything you want in a book including romance and a compelling story.
