Just Roll With It GN – Random House Graphic debuts a new graphic novel series. Maggie is just starting her first year of middle school. Between trying to make friends, find the best after-school club, and avoiding the rumored monster on the school grounds, she’s having a tough time. She is able to manage her anxiety as long as she has her twenty-sided die to give her direction, with the right roll. But when a name is put to her behavior, Obsessive Compulsive disorder, her anxiety increases. This title explores how dealing with anxiety and OCD can affect everyday life, and will appeal to fans of Guts and Real Friends.
