Bookroo's summary

Lola's cries for help have become a game, leaving Charlie skeptical and unresponsive. But when a real crisis arises, will Charlie come to her aid, or will Lola face the consequences alone? Dive into a tale of trust and urgency, where the line between play and peril blurs, and discover what happens when a call for help is truly needed.

From the publisher

Lola keeps calling for Charlie’s help and each time, a concerned Charlie rushes in only to find that there is no real problem. Now that Charlie’s on to Lola’s game, he refuses to answer her calls. But what will Lola do when she really does need Charlie’s HELP!?
