Bookroo's summary

Moxy Maxwell is about to make her piano debut, but she's too busy with costumes and crowns to practice. As the recital looms, nerves hit her hard. Can Moxy overcome her procrastination and shine on stage, or will her lack of preparation lead to disaster? Join Moxy and her sister Pansy in a hilarious adventure of music, mayhem, and unexpected triumph.

From the publisher

Here’s the third book in the hilarious Moxy Maxwell series, which includes “”Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart “ Little and Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank-you Notes.”””Moxy’s back, and ready (kind of, sort of) for her big piano recital! In this hilarious third installment about everyone’s favorite ‘tween procrastinator, Moxy Maxwell is set to make her Piano Debut, playing a duet of “Heart and Soul” with her little sister, Pansy. It’s too bad she has no time to practice. Between costume fittings, trying on her crown, warming up her voice, and putting on her stage makeup, Moxy can’t possibly worry about the actual performance. But soon it’s upon her, and Moxy feels something she’s only felt once before in her entire life: nervous! She’s not sure she can go on. Of course, Moxy is Moxy and she rises to the occasion brilliantly.
