Leslie Margolis's We Are Party People is sweet, brave, and laugh-out-loud funny, as Pixie Jones learns that stepping out of her comfort zone might not be so scary after all.

"I am the opposite of a mermaid and that’s exactly the way I like it." Shy and quiet, Pixie does everything she can to fade into the background. All she wants is to survive middle school without being noticed. Meanwhile, her parents own the best party-planning business in town. They thrive on attention, love being experts in fun, and throw themselves into party personas, dressing as pirates, princes, mermaids, and more. When her mom leaves town indefinitely and her new friend Sophie decides to run for class president, Pixie finds herself way too close to the spotlight. How far is she willing to go to help the people she loves?

From School Library Journal:
Gr 4–6—Pixie Jones is a shy seventh grader who prefers to keep her head down. Her parents are the opposite; in fact, being the life of the party is the family business. They are children's party planners who dress up as mermaids, pirates, and more. Pixie usually helps out in the background, but when her mom is called away to care for Pixie's grandmother, her dad asks her to play a mermaid at an upcoming event. Meanwhile, Pixie has befriended a new student at school, Sophie, who is not submitting quietly to their lowly social position. Sophie runs for class president despite the election traditionally favoring popular students. Her friendship with Sophie challenges Pixie to think beyond her assumptions about the middle school social hierarchy. The two story lines dovetail nicely in a predictable but satisfying climax. Pixie's first-person perspective is endearing. She also speaks candidly about things like her grandmother's Alzheimer's and a friend's gluten intolerance, and her relationship with her harried dad is particularly tender. Readers can sense his distress over his absent wife and his desire to connect with the tween daughter he struggles to understand. VERDICT Give this to fans of gentle, realistic fiction. A solid purchase for medium and large collections.—Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
