the second book in the Lobster Press series, "What’s
Your Style?" This
book also gives parents fresh ideas for planning pre-teen and tween
birthday and holiday parties. A great impulse buy for parents to pick
up to their daughters, and for friends to give to each other.
“With
its trendy magazine design, this lively title will capture the fancy
of girls in grades 5-8. It begins with a quiz to identify your style,
sending a 'celebrate who you are' message to children at their most
peer-dominated age. Eight parties are fully described, with such
popular themes ... Suggestions are included for food (with recipes),
small favors, and 'the setting,' but the emphasis
is on the activities. Bell has great ideas for girls this age and
lays out the planning so invitingly that preparing for the party
looks at least as fun as the event itself ... One of the best sections
of this book is the final section, 'Hostessing 101,' with questions
and answers on
sticky situations that really occur and how to handle them ... This
book almost makes me want to be a 'tween again!” – The

“... For
each [theme party] – Hawaiian luau, spy thriller, beach party,
etc. – Bell offers suggestions for food (recipes included), music,
invitations, decorations, activities, and party favors. The ideas are
fresh and simple enough for the hostess to accomplish on her own,
with parents contributing little more than financial support ... cartoon and photo illustrations with colorful
margins and backgrounds is reminiscent of popular teen magazines,
adding to the adolescent appeal. The book ends with helpful tips
about party crashers and parents who hover. This manual is sure to
fly off library shelves.” – School
