It functions as a subtle message about what it means to witness horror to such a degree that we lose our language for it; it is a quiet story about coming of age, suddenly, as a young black girl because of what the world shows us. It is about the many words our silence can hold, the way our absences can ring as loudly and discordantly as the words we do feel able to say.\" --\u003cem\u003eLiterary Hub\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree girls--Pam, Bess, and Sue--attend a party to celebrate the publication of the first of the Nancy Drew mystery books.

The youngest, Sue, does not, and as usual she has a hard time getting anyone to tell her anything. \u003cem\u003eParty: A Mystery\u003c\/em\u003e is a beautifully drawn adventure story that promises questions that will grab children, but does not guarantee an answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Sheep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617757167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 12.20w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2019 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2019 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e517038 \/ Party: A Mystery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jamaica Kincaid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52933514723509,"sku":"9781617757167","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/party-a-mystery-9781617757167","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
