Everything's new for Sassy Simone Sanford. It's a new school year and, when a mystery limo pulls into town, Sassy gets a new friend-and a new adventure. To complete a school assignment, Sassy learns about cooking, and decides to host a fabulous dinner party. But almost as soon as Sassy gets this dazzling idea, things start to go disastrously downhill. On the day of the party, Zero the dog eats the deli meat, Sassy's friend Rusty makes a mess of the purple milk shake, and Lillian Ling, the new girl in school, is late. Will this party flop or rise? Only a taste test by the dinner party guests can tell for sure. In this Sassy book, readers will enjoy food, fun, family, and friends and will learn to make yummy stuff like fruit pizza, Sassy Sandwiches, an edible fishbowl, and other goodies.
