Midnight Feast Magic

Beschreibung:

Written by a 13-year-old girl for girls her own age, this book contains all the information necessary to throw the perfect sleepover. Planning a successful event of this kind need not be a daunting task, says the author. She and her friends tried out every recipe and played all the games listed to bring readers the best. The book opens with a chapter devoted to ultimate sleepover fun and feasting -- it then moves on to planning, ingredients, and the all-important "golden rules for keeping the adults calm." Flavorsome libations include fruity drinks and smoothies, and for finger foods, the author advises readers to "dip, dunk, and dollop!" Savory snacks help midnight party girls savor the moment, while more elaborate suppers offer more substantial satisfactions. And for those between-bite moments, author Peters includes a selection of zany games and activities to keep the fun going before the inevitable hugs and stumbles into bed.
