Review & Description
Twelve-year-old Roxie wants to be like Adrianne, the peacock [popular girl in class] who gets everything she wants––a trampoline, a flock to prowl around the mall with, and most especially invitations to parties despite the fact that Adrianne tarantulas [scares the heck out of people] and hamsters [hops from one thing to the other without really doing anything] and cats [completely annoys Roxie] and owls [knows everything] and eagles [gets all the attention] her way to get it all. But everything changes when Roxie invites all the peacocks in the eighth grade to her birthday party on Halloween and they all come. And a boy, the boy, actually talks to Roxie. Roxie eagles [soars] until the peacocks decide they want to celebrate Roxie’s birthday in a way Roxie never expected. In her attic. With the lights out. And a pact to swear to never tell a living soul what happens there. Roxie gets everything she’s always wanted, except her old life back.Twelve-year-old Roxie wants to be like Adrianne, the peacock [popular girl in class] who gets everything she wants––a trampoline, a flock to prowl around the mall with, and most especially invitations to parties despite the fact that Adrianne tarantulas [scares the heck out of people] and hamsters [hops from one thing to the other without really doing anything] and cats [completely annoys Roxie] and owls [knows everything] and eagles [gets all the attention] her way to get it all.
