All the campers have gone home and seven-year-old Caitlin is the only kid still at Camp Whispering Pines. Her mother and the other counselors are busy working to close camp for the winter. Caitlin has finished her chores and now she is bored. She wishes they could have an end of summer party, but she knows the adults are always tired after a long day of working. Caitlin decides she will plan the party herself. She asks Cookie to make a cake and sets off to help the other adults with their chores. As Caitlin walks around camp and helps the adult counselors with their work, readers will learn what it takes to close down a camp for the winter. Will Caitlin be able to convince the adults to come to her party? And if so, will it be a success? Caitlin's party is a story of a young girl's determination and her friendship with adults. The many black and white illustrations show Caitlin's activities and help reader's understand a game of charades. Special fun is added by a raccoon family who lives at the camp.
