I really liked 11 Birthdays! I just thought maybe it took one too many days to come to its final conclusion. So many people recommended it to me and I was glad to finally get to read it.
Leo and Amanda met in the hospital on the day they were born. Thanks to some help from a crafty old lady in town, they celebrated their first birthdays together and friendship formed between Leo and Amanda and their families.
On their tenth birthday, however, Leo and Amanda have a huge falling out and they don't talk for a year. They plan to celebrate their eleventh birthdays apart. And they do. But the next day, Amanda awakens to find that it is her eleventh birthday all over again!
A children's/tween tale of Groundhog Day, but it is still fresh enough not to be a copycat. I would recommend this book for sure. I want to read Wendy Mass' The Candymakers next, as I have heard that is really good.
