Part of the Horrible Harry series
Mary's birthday plans derail. Can her friends turn disaster into fun?
Mary's birthday party is a disaster when a train delay ruins her plans. As she drowns her sorrows in sugary drinks, her messy friend Harry concocts a wild scheme to save the day. Will the kids from Room 3B find a way to have fun despite the chaos, or is this destined to be the worst birthday ever? With unexpected twists and a dash of humor, this tale explores friendship and resilience when things don't go as planned.
In the 34th Horrible Harry book, Mary’s plans for a perfect birthday party go horribly wrong–can her friends save the day? Mary is always neat and organized, while Harry is horribly messy. But even Mary’s carefully planned schedule can’t help when things go wrong at her own birthday party. The party is supposed to start with the kids from Room 3B taking an exciting train ride, but when their train is delayed not one . . . not two . . . but three times, Mary’s plan is completely ruined! She thinks the only thing that can make her feel better is cup after cup of sugary Island Punch–even after her mom tells her to stop. But what Mary doesn’t know is that Harry has his own wacky ideas for saving Mary’s big day. Can the kids still have fun even when nothing’s going the way it’s supposed to, or will this be the most horrible birthday ever?
