I Love this book! I never get bored of reading it, It's so funny, and is so creative!
I love this series so much!!
This birthday was awesome! Amanda had a friend, Leo who had the same birthday. They would always have a party together until last year when Leo said some mean things about Amanda to the other boys. She was hurt, and ended their friendship. So when it's Amanda's 11th birthday, she has a good day, Until her birthday starts repeating itself. This means to fix it, she may have to connect to Leo. I recommend it!
Also Angelina is my favorite character!
This series is amazing! 11 Birthdays is the first book in the Willow Falls Series, and its a book that I couldn’t stop reading! It follows a girl named Amanda, who’s turning 11 soon. She used to have a friend named Leo, who was by her side all the time, and they even had the same birthday. They used to have their birthdays together all the time, until their 10th birthday, when Amanda caught Leo saying mean things about her to the “popular” boys. They haven’t talked for a year, and all Amanda wants is for her birthday to be ok without her friend. But every time she wakes up from the following night, she’s reliving the same day, her birthday! And soon, she figures out she’s not alone in this, and there’s a way to stop it, even if it causes challenges. I love this book a lot, and I would totally recommend it! :D
11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass is a hilarious, exciting, fun story about a girl who's life is flipped upside down when her and her best friend, who she hasn't talked to in a year, begin to live one day - their 11th birthday - over and over again. This book is about Amanda and Leo's search to find the cure to stopping their time wheel so they don't just always live their 11th birthdays for the rest of their lives. This book is filled with curses, friendship and creativity in the face of challenges.
What happens when you lose the one who was always there for you? The one you spent every birthday with until the age of 10? Amanda Ellerby has been best friends with Leo Fitzpatrick, and they always celebrated their birthdays together. One day Amanda overhears Leo taking to some friends about her. Now Amanda hasn't even spoken to him, at least no until her 2nd 11th birthday. That's right! 2nd 11th birthday!!Things are going strange in Willow Falls, it seems the day is repeating, but only for Leo and Amanda! They need to figure out what's going on to stop this madness!
That was a great hook at the beginning blossomreader
Imagine spending every birthday together - well that is until your best friend blows it on your tenth. So! This year you decide to have your own party, except everyone (including you) would rather go to Leo's. Well at least your birthday is over with. NOPE! Your birthday is repeating over and over. And no one can tell except you and.....your old best friend! Join Leo and Amanda in this journey of looping birthdays! Will they be able to escape? or will they be 11 together forever?
I love this book. Great book for grades 3-5
