Bookroo's summary
Lola questions the need for school when counting past ten seems unnecessary. Her brother Charlie must show her the value of learning and assure her that her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, is welcome. Will Charlie's patience and creativity win Lola over, or will her quirky logic prevail? Discover the heartwarming dynamics of sibling support and the imaginative world of Lola's mind.
From the publisher
Lola is not so sure about school. After all, why would she need to count higher than ten when she never eats more than ten cookies at a time? Once again, it’s up to ever-patient big brother Charlie to persuade Lola that school is worthwhile — and that her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, will be welcome, too.
