A review by ryannreads
11 Birthdays, by Wendy Mass
3.0
Amanda wakes up on the day after her disastrous 11th birthday to find that she is living the day all over again! She thinks she is going crazy, until her former best friend, Leo, who shares her birthday might be stuck in the 11th birthday loop, too.
While the "Ground Hog day" concept might not be new, I enjoyed this story. A few times, I wished Amanda and Leo would have tried different things sooner - but, alas, that is why the book wasn't written for me! I appreciated that while the kids tried to "fix" bad things that might have happened that day...they couldn't fix everything no matter what they tried.
The performance by the narrator was very well done. Each of the voices were distinct and added to the characters.
