Ginger does not want strange Lyla Browning to come to her birthday party. But when her other friends disrupt Ginger's party plans, she discovers that she and Lyla have some things in common after all. Mann infuses a simple text with humorous details and insights, and her art combines pencil, paint, and digital collage to produce a quietly complex backdrop that echoes the story.
