Moira invites her entire school to her birthday party without telling her parents. As kids from every grade flood her home, chaos ensues. With the house in disarray and her parents scrambling for food, can Moira save the day and clean up the mess? Discover how one girl's bold plan turns into the most unforgettable birthday bash ever.

From the publisher

Moira’s afraid her parents might get upset if they find out she invited the whole school to her birthday party… so she just doesn’t tell them. The big day arrives, and grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, annnnd kindergarten all come knocking down her door. Before long, the house is a total disaster and Moira’s parents are going crazy trying to figure out how to get enough pizzas and birthday cake to feed everyone. Just leave it to Moira–she’ll figure it all out, and even get the house cleaned up in the process! A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book introduces this charming tale of the world’s most boisterous birthday to a new generation of young readers.
