Desi isn't a big fan of school. Even with her lighthearted best friend Tisha at her side, Desi just doesn't enjoy school. When COVID-19 causes Desi's school to close, she couldn't be more delighted to stay at home, play video games, make art, and do whatever she likes. After a couple of weeks, however, Desi finds herself bored and missing her friends. When online schooling begins, Desi quickly realizes that school really isn't so bad after all. I Just Want to Go to School! is a relatable story for many students during the time of COVID-19.
