That's what Lily is planning! And it's gonna be awesome, absolutely, incredibly, awesome! At least... it would be if Art's new dog would stop destroying things, her visiting grandma would stop forcing Lily to waste all her time learning how to be a perfect young lady, and her friends would actually have time to help her... oh and if Zooey would stop freaking out and saying she doesn't want to come! The date of the party gets closer and closer and closer but things just seem to keep falling apart! | Extra Notes: | Lily is planning a party for the sole purpose of impressing the other kids. She is so determined to follow the plan of a party she saw in a 1970's magazine that she doesn't care if it leaves someone out. Zooey is worried about how fat she looks in a swimsuit and knows the kids will tease her like the do at swim lessons. Yet Lily continues trying to plan a pool party that will cause her to feel left out. When Mudda has a heart attack and realizes she needs to slow down and stop working so hard to be perfect and impress others, Lily realizes she needs to do the same. Having a party is great, but doing it for the purpose of impressing others? Not so great. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
