11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass

Amanda and Leo have been best friends for as long as they could remember. When they were born an old woman made their parents promise to celebrate each of their kids' birthdays together. And they did. On their tenth birthday Amanda heard Leo talking to some other guys about how he didn't want to have his birthday with her anymore and how his mom made him. Well that made Amanda really mad and she took off. A year after this she still has not talked to him .Now it's her 11th birthday and for once Amanda and Leo are not spending it together. He's having a cool party with a rock band and all she's having is a costume party. Amanda can't wait for this day to be over. But when she wakes up the next day her birthday starts all over again.

I thought 11 Birthdays was an OK book. It was different and interesting because Amanda kept on having the same day over and over again. But then it got a little boring because the same things kept on happening. It made you want to keep reading because at first you were all worried that something bad was going to happen. Amanda and someone else (if you want to know you have to read the book!!) try to solve the mystery and try to get their life normal again. The book was about making up with friends and and trying not to go crazy! I liked it because even though this book was really different it still had normal stuff kids would go through like embarrassing parents and fighting with your sister. Even though I thought this book was OK, it is still worth reading!!
