What to expect
"If you've never had a best friend, Lola Levine will undoubtedly become your first. Her appeal is boundless."―Rita Williams-Garcia, Coretta Scott King Author Award winner for One Crazy Summer
Lola is doing TOO much! She loves all her activities, especially soccer and volunteering at the Humane Society. And she's certain that she can handle it all. But how much is too much?
When Lola gets sick and has to miss all of her favorite hobbies, she begins to see that balance and rest are just as important as her other activities. Lola is NOT a good patient, but ultimately learns that our bodies (and minds) sometimes need a break.
In the eighth book in this series, young readers will be inspired by Lola's big heart and creative spirit as she learns to navigate the second grade in true Lola style!
