Emma Hope Arnett
thought her days as a big sister would be filled with baby drool and tummy time: in other words, so much fun, she would want to skip Runners' Club and spend every moment with her now-bigger family.
Instead, she can't wait to get out of her house each morning, away from a sad mom and a stressed dad.
What could have gone so wrong?
Her mom is sick, that's what. She has
postpartum depression
. But Emma and baby Charlie still have a full life to lead. When Runners' Club, Emma's favorite escape, gets canceled, Emma is devastated. Can Emma convince her principal to
restart Runners' Club
, and can she solve her family's problems, or are some problems too big for a third grader to solve?
