Bookroo's summary

Bobby Ellis-Chan thought he had faced it all, but now he's up against his football-hero dad's expectations, a bizarre 27-toed cat, and the terror of performing in the school musical. With public asthma attacks and more challenges looming, Bobby must confront his fears to triumph. Can he navigate these hilarious and daunting obstacles, or will they get the best of him? Join Bobby on a journey filled with unexpected twists and laugh-out-loud moments as he learns what it truly means to be brave.

From the publisher

From Lisa Yee and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat, a hilarious sequel to Bobby vs. Girls (Accidentally).In his last adventure, Bobby Ellis-Chan got stuck to a stinky tree, had underwear attached to his back, and faced down a whole wolfpack of girls. What could be scarier or more humiliating than that? Oh, how about playing sports with his football-hero dad … A cat with 27 toes … An asthma attack in public … Dancing on stage in the school musical … And the list goes on! Bobby will have to overcome his fears if he’s going to come out on top.
