Pity Party by Kathleen Lane. 208 p. Little Brown Books for Young Readers, January 19, 2021. 9780316417358.
Waiting on Wednesday features Pity Party by Kathleen Lane. Here's the publisher synopsis: Welcome to Pity Party, where the social anxieties that plague us all are twisted into funny, deeply resonant, and ultimately reassuring psychological thrills.
There's a story about a mood ring that tells the absolute truth. One about social media followers who literally follow you around. And one about a kid whose wish for a new, improved self is answered when a mysterious box arrives in the mail. There's also a personality test, a fortune teller, a letter from the Department of Insecurity, and an interactive Choose Your Own Catastrophe.
Come to the party for a grab bag of delightfully dark stories that ultimately offers a life-affirming reminder that there is hope and humor to be found amid our misery.
Aren't we all entitled to a little pity party the way 2020 has been going?
