The third installment about EllRay Jakes's sister focuses on the social changes that occur when one of Alfie's second-grade classmates decides to have a sleepover but only invite some of the female students. Although Alfie's preconceived ideas of gender seem old-fashioned--and are left unexplored--her earnest personality and supportive family relationships add appeal to the story. Grayscale line illustrations break up the chapters.

The third book in the Absolutely Alfie series, perfect for fans of the Judy Moody books!

Second grader Alfie Jakes knows that when it comes to some friendships, one day you're in, and the next you're out. When Alfie's former best friend Lulu announces that she's hosting the best sleepover ever--and that she's only allowed to invite six girls--Alfie desperately wants to go but is not sure she'll be one of the lucky few. Lulu's classmates are doing all they can to win her favor, a task that often ends in tears. Can Alfie convince her used-to-be best friend that a party is better when everyone is invited--or will she get herself uninvited instead?
