Willow’s Boy-Crazy Birthday by Jen Jones

Willow’s Boy-Crazy Birthday
Jen Jones
Illustrated by Jen Jones

This chapter book starts with an introduction of the main characters.  A page is dedicated to each girl:  Maren, Willow, Delaney, and Ashley.  Each girl is described by their personality, talents, fashion style and dreams.  In the first chapter we discover that Willow has a twin brother.  Their birthday is coming up and their mom suggests a double party where both of the children invite their friends.  This is the first ever co-ed party for Willow and her brother Win.  The theme is Halloween and Birthday mixed together.  Willow suddenly finds herself jazzed about the idea and quickly shares it with her best friends:  Maren, Delaney and Ashley.  The plot thickens as the girls try to think of the best costumes to wear, who to invite, what food to have and what games to play.  Willow learns a lot about including others and enjoying the company of true friends rather than impressing those who don’t really care about her.

I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for my honest review.
