11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass
This book is about a girl named Amanda. When she was born her parents made a promise to a lady named Angelina. The promise was that she would always have her birthday with her best friend Leo. Until she was 9 she kept that promise. You will read more about that later. Her parents never intended to keep the promise but they always had it happen that way. The book takes place in a place called Willow Falls.
On their 10th birthday Amanda got into a fight with Leo so they decided to not have their 11th birthday together. When she has her birthday separately she is miserable. She misses Leo but is still mad at him. The next day she wakes up to find that it is just her birthday all over again. She and Leo have to make up and then team up to get their birthday to happen just once a year. “‘ I get it.’ I announce happily. ‘This is all just a game.’” Amanda first thinks when she wakes up on her birthday. Again.
I really liked this book because it is realistic fiction and a bit or a mystery. You can read this and get 2 in 1! It is told from her perspective which I really like and it gives a bunch of details. I would recommend this to someone who enjoyed other Wendy Mass books and who likes a some mystery. I really liked all the other books she written. I would give this 5 stars.
I read 13 gifts. I always wondered why Amanda and Leo talked to each other on boards, and why they didn’t like Angelina.
This book sounds interesting.
I read that too. Did you like it? Read my review. It is cool that we both read it. I didn’t get why Amanda and Leo just make up sooner.

I read this book before and as you know I did not really like the 12 birthdays one. But I liked this one and this review made me want to read it again.
I loved your book review I am going to read this book.
I’m glad you reviewed this — I’ve really liked a number of Wendy Mass’s other books, but the blurb on this one didn’t appeal to me. Now that I know you liked it, I’ll definitely give it a try!
