Eleven is a book by one of my very favorite authors, Lauren Myracle! She also wrote Ten and he Flower Powers Series.

Eleven is about a girl Winnie who lives in Wisconsin and turns eleven and is super excited for her party!  She planned it and everything. But when she gets home, her “friend” Louise completely takes over her entire party. Her best friend Amanda knows that she planned the party and worked really hard on it but follows Louise anyway. But there’s Diana Devine. Winnie doesn’t like her a lot but they are friends. Dianah is very nice to Winnie.

In the summer, Sandra (Winnie’s older sister) has a job at Baskin & Robbins with her boyfriend Bo. Winnie has an incident, and it isn’t so pretty…

A month later, Winnie visits Amanda at her beach house! There is a pond filled with jellyfish that can easily swim to the ocean.

To find out what happens through Winnie’s year of being Eleven are filled with, read the book!

My favorite part of the book is when Winnie and Diana go to the mall after school and see the kittens in the window. Diana blinks three times to a white kitten and says, “That’s how you say I love you to a cat.” I like that part because it’s so sweet and the way that they describe the kitten in the book, almost made me cry because it’s so cute!

I would recommend this book to people who like funny books because Winnie is very funny. Secondly, I would like to recommend this book to people who like friendship books because Winnie has a best friend Amanda who might dump her for someone else… also Winnie and Dianah become friends. Lastly, I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction because you can probably relate to this book a lot. The only thing that I don’t recommend is reading the rest of the series: Twelve, Thirteen, and Thirteen Plus One. Lauren Myracle is a great author though. I rate this book !!!!!
