Bookroo's summary

Andrew's passion for drama leads him to join every club imaginable, from debate to dance, even learning bagpipes. But as his schedule fills, he risks losing his best friend, Edie, and his sanity. Can Andrew find balance before it's too late? Dive into this humorous tale of over-scheduling and discover if Andrew can manage his chaotic life while keeping his friendships intact.

From the publisher

Debate. French film club. Bagpipes. Can Andrew do it all? From the award-winning creator of The Most Magnificent Thing comes a book about an charming chickadee who learns - with the help of a “deer” friend - that busy isn’t always better. Andrew loves putting on plays so he decides to join the drama club at school. Determined to make his performance the best it can be, he joins the debate club to practice his public speaking. He signs up for dance and karate to help with his coordination. Then he’s asked to play for the tennis team and edit the school newspaper. Before long he’s learning to play the bagpipes, attending Spanish classes and joining the French film club. Suddenly Andrew doesn’t have time for anything or anyone else, not even his best friend Edie. And he definitely doesn’t have time to sleep. Will Andrew figure out how to balance all his favorite activities and his best friend at the same time? A hilarious look at over-scheduling, a common issue many kids today face.
