David’s Diary #5: The Birthday Battle

Grades 1–4
Ages 6–9

Meet David Jesse King—the precocious nine-year-old lead in this faith-forward series written in diary form, and with lots of heart and humor! In this fifth adventure, David and his friends strike up an intense rivalry as they battle to rack up the most invites to their birthday parties.

It’s birthday season for Fairview Christian Academy’s fourth grade class! David and his friends Nate, Abby, and Greg all have their birthdays coming up, and so does Hannah Samuels, another girl in their class. That’s five birthdays in one month and they’re all hoping to have their birthday parties on the same day!

Let the battle begin as the four friends try to outdo each other and convince their classmates and youth group that their birthday bash is the one no one should miss! 

In The Birthday Battle, the gang learns that it isn’t the venue, cake, or party favors that make a birthday fun, but who you celebrate with.
