Editorial Reviews

Zeke wants to have the best birthday party ever but he has one problem. His mom vetoes every suggestion he makes. “Do you know how much money that would cost?” she repeats over and over. Zeke finally relents and decides to trust his mom for a fun party at home. But just when he thinks things are settled, Zeke has another dilemma: he scheduled his birthday party for the exact same day as the most popular girl in his class, Grace Chang. Will anyone come to his party? As the kids in his class begin to tell him that they are choosing to go to Grace’s best-ever party, two stalwart friends stand by his side, Charlie and Hector. They proclaim in front of all the other kids that they are going to Zeke’s party because he’s their best friend, even if Grace’s party does sound like more fun. But that is just the start of this hilarious tale of a party gone wrong and what it means to be a true friend. Zeke finds out that real fun does not have to mean a fabulous party or even lots of presents. Being with friends who care about him is what matters most. This chapter book has lots of insightful facts about friendship. At the conclusion there is a section on fun games to have at a party, how to plan a fun party and discussion questions on what makes a party fun. Reviewer: Trudy Shiroma Koeffler; Ages 7 to 10.
