Eliza Bing Is (Not) a Big, Fat Quitter
Synopsis
Eliza has had many hobbies in her eleven years... and most of them haven't lasted very long.
After she and her friend Tony create a baking business for a class project, Eliza becomes certain that cake decorating is her destiny. Her parents insist that the summer "Cakes with Caroline" class is too expensive-especially given Eliza's history of quickly losing interest in things.
Desperate to show them that she can be diligent, Eliza volunteers to take her brother's unwanted spot in a taekwondo class. At first, she has absolutely no interest in martial arts, and the focus and discipline of taekwondo is a huge challenge for her since she has ADHD. To make things worse, mean girl Madison shows up in class.
Eliza is tempted to drop out, but a true martial artist never quits. Can she rise to the challenge?
