Gr 3-5-Sassy's fourth-grade class has an assignment to research a topic and experience it, then present it to their fellow students. The whole school is intrigued when a mysterious limo appears, bringing a shy and sad-looking new girl, Lillian. When Sassy and her friends welcome her, she begins to emerge from her shell, and Sassy decides to research recipes and throw a dazzling dinner party at her house. She succeeds in talking her mom into it by promising that nothing she makes will involve cooking. She invites her entire class and must combat her brother's sock- and food-eating dog; an electricity outage that threatens her frozen foods; a purple kitchen; and the possible disappearance of Lillian. As in the earlier tales, the protagonist's sparkly "Sassy sack" contains everything she needs to counter any dilemma. Themes of loyalty and friendship run throughout as Lillian finds a place she can belong, and Sassy and her family realize their strong family bonds. Young foodies will revel in Sassy's recipes as each of them is appended, along with child-friendly instructions. Draper has whipped up another delicious tale sure to please followers of Sassy and anyone looking for a fun chapter book.-Michele Shaw, Quail Run Elementary School, San Ramon, CA

Grades 2-4 In the latest installment in the series that started with Little Sister Is Not My Name (2009), lively fourth-grader Sassy is in bliss as she plans a dinner party for her classmates, and the preparations make for an uproariously fun read. Unlike the new kid in class, Sassy has a family that is totally supportive but never bossy, even when she makes a huge mess and turns the kitchen purple. Technological references are frequent, as Sassy downloads invitations and menu ideas, and readers may want to follow her example and try the 17 appended recipes.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
