In the book Ten by Lauren Myracle, the main character, Winnie, goes month by month from March to the next year in March. She wakes up on her tenth birthday and is super excited. I mean super. She goes downstairs and describes the room as “unicorns frolicking everywhere.” In June, she is in the the neighborhood pool and there is a little girl who is four years old. Winnie has a little brother Ty who is also four years old. Winnie walks over to the kiddie pool (where Ty and the little girl are) and Ty has his not-so-happy face on. Winnie talks to the girl and eventually finds out that the little girl’s name is Erica. She is being mean to Ty because he is wearing pink. Winnie makes Ty feel better later. In order to find out what happens in the year, you have to read the book!

My favorite part of the book was when Winnie woke up and said, “The thing about birthdays is that they are so shiny and sparkly and make the birthday girl feel special, no matter what. And guess what? Today I was the birthday girl! As of today, I was ten years old. As of today-oh my goodness gravy-I Winnie Perry, was living in the Land of Double Digits.” I like that part because it is really funny especially when she says, “oh my goodness gravy” (she says that a lot).

I would recommend this book to people who are and/or just turned ten because you can probably relate to this book a lot. I would also recommend this book to people who like funny books because Winnie is very funny. Third, I would like to recommend this book to people who like friendship books because Winnie has a best friend, Amanda and an older sister, Sandra. Lastly, I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction because you  can probably relate to this book a lot.

This book is a series: Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Thirteen plus One. I rate this book five stars!!!!!
