  6. I love the story! It can be so unexpecting. I wasn't sure what to think when I read the back, but it is definetly more interesting than a day repeating! The characters have a really convincing attitude. I can see both sides of the story. It is cool how history is repeating in the loop thing. I didn't expect magical stuff in this book from the cover or anything, but it is believible in the book.Wendy Mass is a great author.

  7. 11 Birthdays was an incredibly intriguing book about day that loops and a repeating birthday. Wendy Mass really outdid herself in 11 Birthdays, and I can't wait wait to read 12 Birthdays!

    I think this book was truly amazing. What made it awesome was the time loop because it added a fun twist to the story to make it funny, addicting, and realistic. The words brought the story to life. I would recommend this book to people who like to read and love a good mystery.:-D

  17. 11 Birthdays is such a great book! I couldn't put it down. There is a companion to this book called Finally. I read this one too, but I like 11 Birthdays better. This is definitely a book to vote for!

    Have you ever read a book where the characters keep living the same day over and over again? Well I have and it's called 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass. This book is tghe type that you won't want to stop reading. Which is why I love it and since the characters are so close in age to me I can relate to them. I would reccommend to kids 10-12 uears old. It keeps your interest with it's exciting events. My favorite event is when the two main characters Amanda and Leo celebrate their eleventh birthday but things take an unspected turn the next day. To find out how it all ends read this fantastic fantasy.
