Josie arrives at Bryce Haven Psychiatric Hospital sure that she’s a bad person and a bad friend. She must be, because her brain constantly yells at her for not being good enough. It tells her she needs to be perfect or else she’ll be alone and miserable forever. She’s so overwhelmed with worries about bad things happening as punishment for her imperfections that she sometimes feels compelled to punish herself.
Then, when Josie gets discharged and returns home, she’s forced to deal with Hal—the mean, smelly bully of a goat her dad is goat-sitting. Hal has a bad habit of climbing where he shouldn’t and refusing to get out of the way.
When Josie’s therapist diagnoses her with OCD, describing it as a bully in her brain, Josie denies it. Surely her brain is just trying to be helpful . . . right? But eventually, she begins to see that her OCD bears a striking resemblance to Hal, so maybe she shouldn’t feel guilty about wanting to kick it out. With her therapist’s help and the support of her dad and friends, Josie might finally be ready to stand up to the bully in her brain.

批評家のレビュー
“Josie (Jo) Martinez is convinced that if she isn’t the kindest person or the perfect best friend, terrible things will happen and she’ll deserve to be punished. When Jo can’t choose sides in her friends’ argument, her guilt compels her to self-harm. She’s admitted to Bryce Haven Psychiatric Hospital, where she discovers she has OCD—a diagnosis she initially resists. . . . At home she must contend with Hal, the smelly goat her dad is taking care of . . . who bullies animals and humans alike. When Jo’s new therapist invites her to envision her brain being ‘hijacked by a bully of a goat called OCD,’ she wonders: Can standing up to Hal help her confront her illness? Braden’s portrayal of OCD and its treatment is thorough and enlightening. Jo’s fears and self-recrimination are viscerally conveyed, including thoughts and acts of self-harm; readers experiencing similar struggles will appreciate the mental health resources included in the author’s note. Importantly, Jo is more than her OCD; flashes of humor and her passion for art and crafting shine through. Jo is surrounded by heartwarmingly supportive secondary characters, and readers will cheer her gradual progress. . . . Painful, insightful, and hopeful.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A middle schooler navigates her recently diagnosed obsessive-compulsive disorder in this affirming story. . . . Josie Martinez constantly worries that she’s a bad person. When intrusive thoughts prompt self-harm, Jo’s single father admits her to Upstate New York’s Bryce Haven Psychiatric Hospital for treatment. There, she learns that she has OCD, and that it’s been exacerbating her already overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression. . . . She loathes the thought of returning to life outside the hospital, especially after Dad agrees to care for Hal, a family friend’s antagonistic goat. But with support from Phoebe, Dad, and her therapist, Jo determines to stand up to corporeal goat Hal and the ‘giant bully of a goat called OCD.’ Lucid metaphor unspools across short chapters, conveyed via Jo’s self-effacing yet increasingly assured first-person POV. The result is a brief and empowering look at one girl’s managing mental health challenges.” —Publishers Weekly
