About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is a perfectionist who spirals when their routine is disrupted or when they are paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake. Molly McGinty is a highly organized middle schooler who lives by her 'Senior Notebook,' but her world turns upside down when she loses it and faces a series of escalating, slapstick disasters. Through the chaos of a very bad day, the story gently explores themes of anxiety, resilience, and the liberating realization that the world does not end when things go wrong. It is a lighthearted, humorous read for ages 8 to 12 that validates the stress of 'Type A' children while teaching them to laugh at life's unpredictability.
