Most kids think going to someone"s birthday party is fun, but nine-year-old Nevin knows better. When he gets an invitation to the party of a girl in the neighborhood, he doesn"t want to go. The birthday girl, Rhonda, a perfect brat, has made Nevin her archenemy. Nevin"s mom insists that he go to the party and, from the very start, it is a complete disaster. Purchasing a fifty-cent gift proves to be a nightmare. Just walking past Old One Eye"s porch on his way is a pathway paved with difficulties. Add in some party games that feel more like torture, guests who hate him, and a bratty girl who wants her birthday wishes to come true, and it all winds up as a birthday celebration you"ll be glad you didn"t have to attend! Set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin circa 1949, The Complete Disaster-Rhonda"s Birthday Party is a delightfully funny novel that young readers and their parents won"t want to put down.
