Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- Readers of Hines' Cassie Bowen Takes Witch Lessons (Dutton, 1985) will welcome this novel, which continues Cassie's story but stands as well on its own. Cassie is just about to turn ten and is confronting two difficult aspects of this birthday. First, will her father, now living in California and becoming less responsive to her, keep his promise to Cassie to attend her party? This is critical to Cassie as she believes she can reunite her parents if they can only replicate earlier family celebrations. Secondly, should Cassie give in to some precocious friends and invite boys to her birthday party? The party plans, Cassie's friendship with her next door neighbor, her mother's first post-divorce date, and Cassie's growing relationship with her older brother are interwoven and balanced in a story line which does equal justice to the two major sub-plots. The strong characterization of pre-adolescent children, the simple dialogue, and the clear story line make this an accessible book for young readers. --Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie
