Some people say they wish their birthday was everyday. You wouldn’t if you were Amanda Ellerby and Leo Fitzpatrick. I love 11 Birthdays  by Wendy Mass because it had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. The two were born on the same day. Supposedly, that was special. On their first birthday, their parties coincidentally ended up being at the same party place. Amanda and Leo learned to walk together that day.  They had their parties together for the next ten years. But on their tenth birthday, Leo learns that some words aren’t worth losing a best friend. Amanda is ready to move on to the day after her eleventh birthday so she doesn’t have to think about not having a party with Leo for the first time in her life. The only problem is, the next day is her birthday all over again! Join Amanda as she figures out her situation.

Some of Wendy’s others books from this series include 12 Finally and 13 Gifts.
