It all begins with homework trouble and an invitation to a sleepover that she doesn’t want to go to. Would you want to go to a sleepover in a creepy house? Rather than dealing with her problems, Susannah stuffs them into her backpack. But how much can a backpack take? Will she be able to confront her worries before the backpack bursts? Or will she just continue to hide them away?
Join Susannah and her friends in this story sure to charm busy young readers everywhere.
We received this book to give an honest review.
I read this to K because I think that he needed to learn a bit of a lesson of how when you let things worry you or you don't do something right away it just builds and builds. I think this was a great lesson for not only kids to learn but adults to because I do know that things can overwhelm us when we let it.
We see how it all starts with not finishing homework up, to not eating her fruit that her mom asked her to and the list just goes on. Susannah puts everything in her bag and at first it doesn't seem heavy but as she keeps adding more and more items to it her backpack gets heavier. It just weighs her down and as a child that isn't good. As we continue on with the story we get to see what Susannah chooses to do about this situation.
When A gets a bit older she is only 5 I will be reading this to her.
