Have you ever felt like your week was too crowded? What if your calendar decided to fix the problem by eating the weekend?
It was Six o'clock on Monday morning, and ten-year-old Peter Wilson was already fighting his trousers. But inside the Wilson household, an even bigger problem is brewing behind the kitchen door. The family calendar is completely full. Monday is crowded, Tuesday is worse, and Saturday is so packed that even relaxing has been given a strict fifteen-minute appointment.

The family calendar is completely full. Monday is crowded, Tuesday is worse, and Saturday is so packed that even relaxing has been given a strict fifteen-minute appointment.
Enter the Chronovore: A tiny ink stained creature made of folded paper receipts who slips between the pages to feast on the Family's schedule. It eats the swimming lessons, swallows the Dentist appointments, and munches through homework reminders. Peter thinks he has found the ultimate loophole to get out of chores - Until his chaotic three-year-old sister, Lily, draws a massive tent on the calendar and Saturday vanishes entirely.
Suddenly caught in a world where Friday leads directly to Sunday, Peter, Lily and compact Appointment Eater must launch and emergency rescue mission into Lost Time, a vast, magical library of misplaced minutes, forgotten promises, and mountain of activities saved for Someday. TO bring the weekend back, Peter will have to outsmart a clock-headed bureaucrat, survive and explosion of loose hair, and learn the true scientific difference between an empty schedule and a day off.
The Calendar That Ate Saturday is a laugh out loud whimsical comic novel, perfect for fans of family comedies.
Delightfully witty and deeply heart-warming, its a story that children will love and busy parents will completely relate to.
