Seventh grader Sadie and her fellow party-planning friends (You're Invited) are back, and this time they're planning a wedding for a high-maintenance woman who fired Sadie's mom as her planner. Besides running their business, they must contend with mean girls, crushes, family issues, school pressures, and an unexpected weather event. A smart yet breezy series about friendship, loyalty, and the stresses of tweendom.

Twelve-year-old Sadie, whose mother is a wedding planner, and her three best friends start a birthday-party-planning business as a way to do something fun together in their seaside resort town as well as earn some money. The parties all have minor mishaps, but the different talents the girls bring to the business get them through unscathed in this overlong but enjoyable series-beginner.

Figure skater Kaitlin is dumped by her coach and banned from her club after she loses her temper at a competition. The only club that will take her is Fallton, known as "Fall Down," but there she makes her first real friends and discovers how to skate with real emotion. Characterization is shaky in spots, but the story is otherwise smoothly told.
