In Jen’s Party, soon-to-be fifteen-year-old Jen immediately regrets agreeing to her crazy Aunt Belle’s plan for a birthday party which involves, among other notions, flirting with the town’s entire male population. With a perfectly tuned ear for the droll and the deadly, Owens can spin a tale of domestic mayhem that is at once disarmingly tense and movingly human.

Published to celebrate Agnes Owens' centenary year in 2026.
