Still feeling hurt from an unkind remark Leo made at last years party, Amanda spends her eleventh birthday without her now-estranged friend to share the fun. In the days that follow, both Amanda and Leo discover that they are caught in a time loop, waking up each morning to find themselves repeating their eleventh birthdays. They soon renew their friendship and begin to experiment by making differentRead this in 4th grade, and I remember being pretty damn proud of myself for reading a more, "Big kid" book. Yeah, I wasn't much of a reader till a few years ago:)
Wendy Mass writes highly enjoyable realistic fiction with a fantasy twist. The characters are well developed and the 11-year-old friendships and dramas are true to life.Theres a great message about the need to resolve disagreements and heal grudgeseven among 11-year-oldsbefore you can move on.

Leo and Amanda have been sharing their birthdays since the first one. After a fight during their 10th birthday they don't speak for a year and end up having seperate birthdays for their eleventh.

Kind of like Groundhog Day. I thought this one was really good and well written. It's a great story of

All the information author gives away about that is that they haven't spoken in a year. When I read this I was thinking why are they not talking and what caused them not to speak to each other? I was excited to figure out what
