PARTY - A MYSTERY
by Jamaica Kincaid, illustrated by Ricardo Cortés
|
Three girls—Pam, Bess, and Sue—attend a party to celebrate the publication of the first of the Nancy Drew mystery books. There are many distractions at the fancy affair: flower arrangements, partygoers, refreshments, and lots and lots of marble.
Suddenly, the oldest girl, Pam, sees what can only be described as something truly . . . bilious . . . not good! Bess sees it too. The youngest, Sue, does not, and as usual she has a hard time getting anyone to tell her anything.
32 pages, hardcover

—Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine
“I loved Party. It’s a beautiful book right in the tradition of Ezra Jack Keats.”
—Ta-Nehisi Coates
