11 Birthdays

Author: Wendy Mass
Characters: Amanda, Leo, Stephanie, Ruby, Kylie, Ms. and Mr. Fitzpatrick, Ms. and Mr Ellerby
Setting: Willow Falls

Leo and Amanda were born on the same day, but are not related. They end
up having their birthday parties together every year. The day of their 10th birthday Leo's friends teased him about being a girl's best friend. Leo says some mean things and Amanda overhears him. She does not talk to him for a long time. Eventually there is a problem they must fix. While Leo has a hypnotist, rock band, football star, and a giant iguana, Amanda has to wear an itchy costume for their SEPARATE parties. She can't wait until her day after her birthday, except it never came, the day repeated. Amanda eventually has to team up with Leo to get themselves unstuck from reliving the same day over and over again.

This is a must read for everyone. It is very funny. I would give it a 10 out of 10.
