A companion to the New York Times bestselling series that began with Nat Enough!Clubs, group activities, sports -- they've never really been Nat's thing. She prefers playing with her pets, hanging with her friends, and drawing in her sketchbook. But this year, students are required to participate in an extracurricular activity.

While her friends are busy with other commitments, Nat's feeling left behind and more alone than ever.
