Starting middle school is hard enough when you don't know anyone; it's even harder when you're shy. Just Roll with It is a contemporary middle-grade graphic novel for fans of Guts and Real Friends about a girl who struggles with anxiety and OCD, affecting her everyday life.

As long as Maggie rolls the right number, nothing can go wrong...right?

A touching middle-grade graphic novel that explores the complexity of anxiety, OCD, and learning to trust yourself and the world around you.
