Everything's planned out for the bash of the year, as bunkmates from camp join Mallory and her best friend Mary Ann for a multi-day sleepover and New Year's party. Mallory didn't, however, plan on having appendicitis and missing (almost) the whole thing. Kids will sympathize with Mallory's disappointment at being excluded; astute readers will likely guess the story's surprise ending.
