The worst part of it all is that she and her best friend, Leo, with whom she's shared every birthday, are on the outs and this will be the first birthday they haven't shared together. But from the start, everything goes wrong. It's Amanda's 11th birthday and she is super excited-after all, 11 is so different from 10. 'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.īook Description Paperback. A rewarding choice for readers and a natural for booktalks and discussion groups. Emboldened by the idea of daily do-overs, she discovers that small changes in her attitude and actions result in sometimes-subtle, sometimes-monumental shifts in results for herself, her family, and her friends. The mysterious power that rewinds time eventually seems less important than the power that Amanda finds within herself. From the double-entendre title to the solid character portrayals to the clarity and wit of the writing, this novel offers a fresh twist on the familiar themes of middle-grade family and school dynamics. They soon renew their friendship and begin to experiment by making different choices throughout the day, partly for the thrill of acting without long-term consequences and partly from their fear of never escaping this mysterious time trap. In the days that follow, both Amanda and Leo discover that they are caught in a time loop, waking up each morning to find themselves repeating their eleventh birthdays. Still feeling hurt from an unkind remark Leo made at last year’s party, Amanda spends her eleventh birthday without her now-estranged friend to share the fun. *Starred Review* Amanda and Leo, born on the same day, have celebrated their birthdays together for 10 years.
