The book captures pre- teens interest. Dean Pitchford's writing is creative. This is no ordinary planning for a birthday party. The way Pitchford writes it makes it unique from other books. Reread "The Big One-Oh" 3 times already. Charley Maplewood is about to turn ten in a few weeks and he has never had friends or a birthday party. In this book, he plans about it and tries his best to throw a scary part since he's a fan of spooky things and Monsters and Maniacs,
