Ryan was turning seven. Mom said the party could cost fifty dollars. Not a penny more.

Ryan made a list. Bouncy castle. Pony. Chocolate fountain. Fireworks. "That is about a thousand dollars," Mom said kindly.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
