![]() ![]() ![]() Why is Amanda stuck in this freaky loop, and how will she break out of it? 11 Birthdays is a charming look at how to repair a friendship, take risks, and save yourself from the worst birthday party ever. This birthday is not going anywhere, because when Amanda wakes up, she discovers that it is her birthday again, and she has to relive every imperfect moment. As it turns out, her special day leaves a lot to be desired, and Amanda is more than happy when it’s all over. The two have not spoken for a year and when Amanda wakes up on her birthday, she can’t help but wish things were different. That’s because of something Leo did at last year’s party, something that Amanda just cannot forgive. This year, for the first time, they will be apart. The two have spent every birthday together, and they are about to turn eleven. They were born on the same day, in the same birthing centre and ever since then, they have been best friends. ![]() It is the perfect tween book, and it has convinced me that Wendy Mass sure knows how to create a plot with real pull.Īmanda and Leo have known each other since the day they were born. 11 Birthdays, by Wendy Mass, is every bit as sunny and sweet as the cover promises. Doesn’t this cover practically shout, “Read this book and you will have fun!”? (And you haven’t even seen the back of it, which is the exact same image except the kid holding the balloon bunch is a boy). ![]()
