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。When Agnes decides to host a tea party, she finds it hard to shake a most unlikely guest . . . and his even more unlikely friends. 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.
