The Chicken Pox Party

This book is about a creative and over imaginative girl about 9 years old who hangs out with friends younger than her that all meet after school and put on plays together for fun. In this book, she decides to write about chicken pox but nobody likes her play and believe that she has to have had chicken pox first in order to write about it so she writes a play about an evil stepmother instead. The rest of the plot just focuses on spying on a mysterious neighbor and some of the kids coming down with chicken pox themselves and then there is a finalized play at the end with the script and all about a chicken pox party. Not really something intellectual for a kid, but just some lazy fun stuff to read about.

the book was so cute that I myself wanted to write plays of my own and make productions of shows I already liked. I even wanted to act out the play at the end but never got a chance.

I would read this all day even at the dinner table. The pizza party at the end was really mouth watering, as was the picnic.
