⏱️ About the Book
The crushing stress of trying to balance school expectations, sports, and social life leads Harold to a major, public burnout.
Harold Mitchell is thirteen years old and trying to do it all. Between endless homework, extracurriculars, and trying to maintain a social life, he is running on fumes—until he spectacularly crashes during the most important week of the term.
