Venus Washington and the Birthday Blowout

By Maisha Oso

It's party pandemonium when Venus Washington tries to plan her little brother's birthday bash in this second book in the hilarious chapter book series perfect for fans of Junie B. Jones and Dory Fantasmagory

Meet Venus Washington. Her boring baby brother Zion is about to have his first birthday party, and Mama and Daddy said Venus could help with decorations. But Venus knows she's basically in charge.

Her plan is perfect:
- Invite her classmates (even the annoying ones) and their pets
- Make sure everyone brings a present for her or they can't get into the party
- Set up a secret VIP room for the Very Important Presents
- Save Daddy from getting his arm and leg chopped off by the party clown

Can Venus throw the party of the century--and protect Daddy's limbs? Or will Zion's first birthday turn into the biggest blowout out all time?
