Discover an "absurd, funny, and thought-provoking" book perfect for
"anyone who has ever felt socially awkward or inadequate" (Louis Sachar,
author of Holes and the Wayside School series).
Dear weird toes, crooked nose, stressed out, left out, freaked out
Dear missing parts, broken hearts, picked-on, passed up,
misunderstood,
Dear everyone, you are cordially invited, come as you are, this
party's for you
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.
