Charley Maplewood has never been one for partiesâthat would require friends, which he doesnât have. But now that heâs turning tenâthe big one-ohâhe decides to throw a birthday party for himself, complete with a âHouse of Horrorsâ theme and a big birthday cake. Of course things donât work out as Charley plans. In trying to make friends, he ends up inviting the class bully Cougar to come, and thatâs before he ruins the cake and burns down the garage. By the time of the big day, Charleyâs home really is a house of horrors. Will Charley be able to pull it together before the big one-oh becomes the big OH-NO!? From start to finish, The Big One-Oh is a laugh-out-loud riot, and any listener will relate to the pressures Charley faces both at school and at home in planning his special day. So put on your party hat and celebrate The Big One-Oh today!
