Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Three girls - Pam, Beth, and Sue - attend a party to celebrate the publication of the first of the Nancy Drew mystery books. There are many distractions at the fancy affair: flower arrangements, partygoers, refreshments, and lots and lots of marble. Suddenly, the oldest girl, Pam, sees what can only be described as something truly... bilious... not good! Beth sees it too. The youngest, Sue, does not, and as usual she has a hard time getting anyone to tell her anything. Party: A Mystery is a beautifully drawn adventure story that promises questions that will grab children, but does not guarantee an answer. The story's language builds and swings between lyrical and snappy - packing a wallop.
"The text of Party originally appeared in the New Yorker (1980), and was later published in Talk stories by Jamaica Kincaid, ©2001 by Jamaica Kincaid"--Colophon.
Pam, Beth and Sue are at a party celebrating the Nancy Drew mystery books, but discover a mystery at the party itself.
