Bookroo's summary
Noodle always finds someone else to blame for his troubles, whether it's unfinished homework or a forgotten library book. But as his excuses pile up, he must learn to accept responsibility and turn mistakes into opportunities. Join Noodle on a journey of self-discovery where he learns that owning up to his actions can lead to positive change. Will he stop the blame game and embrace accountability?
"If you're brave enough to own your mistakes, imagine how GREAT you'll become! You'll learn a lot, you'll make better choices, and your life will be SO MUCH more fun!"
