In "Nearly Terrible Birthday" by Huddy Delia, the story follows a young girl named Poppy as she navigates the ups and downs of turning ten. As her birthday approaches, she anticipates a day filled with fun, friends, and cake. However, when unexpected events begin to unfold—like a surprise rainstorm and a miscommunication with her party guests—Poppy’s birthday begins to spiral into chaos. Through laughter and tears, she learns that even when things don’t go as planned, the love of friends and family can turn a nearly terrible birthday into a memorable adventure.
