Four best friends start a party-planning business in this fresh, funny tween novel from the authors of At Your Service and Breaking the Ice.
Twelve-year-old Sadie loves helping her mom with her wedding planning business, and with Sadieās mad organizational skills, sheās a natural! Thatās why itās so devastating when her mother āfiresā her after a Little Mermaidāthemed wedding goes awry.
Enter Sadieās best friends: sporty Vi, ace student Lauren, and boy-crazy Becca. The girls decide that in order to get Sadieās mom to reconsider, they have to make her see how amazing Sadie is at party planning. Except no oneās gonna hire a twelve-year-old to plan a wedding. A birthday party, though? Definite possibility.
Before long, RSVPāyour one-stop shop for the most creative parties in townāis born. Of course, Sadie canāt wait to prove herself to her mom, but the other girls also have their reasons for enlisting: Vi has her eye on the perfect gift for her hardworking dad, and Beccaās all aflush at the thought of connecting with Ryan, the new Irish cutie in town. And though Lauren thinks sheās too busy with summer studies to āofficiallyā join, sheās willing to help out in any way she can.
But in this particular party-planning business, nothing goes according to plan! Sadieās mom is a perpetual no-show, Viās archrival is dead set on ruining her summer, Becca canāt seem to get Ryan to glance in her direction, and Lauren keeps choosing studying over her friends. Is the girlsā friendship strong enough to survive a business? Or does RSVP spell the end of these BFFs?
