剛搬到新鎮上的 Agnes 很想交朋友，於是精心準備了一場下午茶，邀請班上的女孩來家裡作客。門鈴響起時，她滿心期待，站在門外的卻是隔壁的 Dave。Agnes 告訴他，邀請函上寫著可以帶一位朋友，既然他沒帶朋友，就不能參加。沒想到 Dave 一點也不氣餒，接連帶來一位又一位意想不到的朋友：吵鬧的鵝、刺刺的仙人掌，還有被 Agnes 誤認為蛇的無腳蜥蜴。
當原本邀請的客人遲遲沒有出現，Agnes 看著 Dave 和朋友們開心玩耍，終於鼓起勇氣問自己能不能加入。John Hare 以輕快幽默的故事與活潑插畫，描寫一場完全偏離計畫的茶會，也讓孩子發現，新朋友有時會以最意外的方式出現。
Agnes is new to town and wants to make friends, so she invites some girls in her class to a fancy tea party. When there is a knock at the door, she expects to see them--not Dave from next door. This isn't what she had in mind at all. . .
"The invitation says plus one.
This means you need to bring a friend.
And since you don't have a friend with you--goodbye."
Agnes is sure that will be the end of that, but Dave is persistent, and before long he's bringing one friend after another as his plus one. Pierre of the North, Esquire, a goose who Agnes deems too loud; Fred, a cactus that's too prickly; Dr. Scalywiggles, a legless lizard she mistakes for a snake; even his mom, who makes great French toast and lets him win at tag. Alas, no grownups are allowed at this tea party.
But as the minutes pass and the other guests don't show up, Agnes is left with nothing but her tea set, watching Dave and his friends play tag. She works up the nerve to ask if she can join in and receives a resounding yes-- and when the original guests arrive (late because of soccer practice) everyone heads inside for tea, no species excluded.
In this fun and funny tale, John Hare, author and illustrator of Field Trip to the Moon, Field Trip to the Ocean Deep, and Field Trip to Volcano Island, uses his signature wit and buoyant illustrations to share the timeless message that sometimes new friends turn out to be someone unexpected.
