Book: Junie B. Jones and the Meanie Jim's Birthday (Junie B. Jones book #6) by Barbara Park
Rating: 4 stars
My Review:
This little girl is forever getting into trouble but this time it's mostly due to the fact that she didn't get invited to her classmate's birthday party on Saturday.
I believe this is the first time Junie B. has had to deal with her feelings being hurt in such a way. She didn't want to be left out especially since her whole class would be attending Jim's party. She didn't know how to deal with it so she was acting out including telling her parents she was going to move (her version of running away).
The situation was resolved with help from the Principal, which had Jim inviting Junie B. to his party. However, once she got the invite, Junie B. no longer wanted to go. She wanted to spend her Saturday doing what she wanted to do but she was afraid of being the only one from her class not going to the party. I like how her parents talked to her about making a decision instead of just forcing her to just go to the party.
These books are really funny but they also teach kids but in a subtle way on how to deal with their problems.
This is the last book for the Bout of Books read-a-thon and I'm glad I chose something light and easy to end with.
