About the book

Making friends isn't always easy, and all Frank the Pizza wants is someone to accept him for who he is. So when he gets invited to a birthday party, his parents worry and warn him to be careful...but Frank is already planning his outfit. At the party, no one seems to get his jokes and he ends up lonely in the corner - until he meets Frances. As the night goes on, these new friends become more daring and suddenly the party takes an unexpected turn. Were Frank's parents right? Is life dangerous when you're delicious?
