Alvin Ho doesn't like birthday parties. They are scary and unpredictable and way too many things could go wrong. But when Alvin learns that Hobson, one of the cool gang members, is having a party, Alvin wonders if he will be invited. After all, he wants to fit in with the gang, and he loves playing King Philip's war. Sure enough, a birthday invitation does arrive for Alvin, but it is pink and it is not from Hobson but from his friend Flea, a girl. Alvin certainly does not want to go to a girl's birthday party. He might be mistaken for a pinata! He might eat too much cake! He might throw up! His mom tells him he should be happy he was invited.
