Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Del Bloom faces a dilemma: manage a flower crisis for Ashley's party or celebrate her own birthday. As the oldest in her family, Del must balance responsibility with her own desires. Will she sacrifice her special day to keep the family business blooming, or can she find a way to have it all? With friendships and family ties on the line, Del navigates the challenges of growing up and standing up for herself. Can she ensure her moment in the sun without wilting under pressure?
