Too Much

Too Much is the story of a sixth-grade girl who discovers that being funny is both a superpower and a liability, especially when the audience is a cafeteria full of hormonal children and one very opinionated teacher. After a single painful comment sends her spiraling into shame, she decides—against her better judgment and every instinct toward invisibility—to take the stage at the school talent show. What follows isn't a cinematic transformation but something far stranger and more useful: she learns to belong to herself first, and to everyone else second. It's a book about growing up, falling apart, and realizing that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop apologizing for taking up space.
