The small town of Willow Falls may seem like a normal town, or so you think. Amanda in 11 Birthdays,the first book, had her run in with a magic force and now it's Almost birthday girl Rory's turn. Rory's parents never allowed her to do things, until she was 12. It may not be pretty but it's an adventure no one will believe.
this book is really good i love it so so so so so so much if you red 11 birthdays this is the next one in the series read it!!
if your 12 you would totlay understand this book. its about this girl whohas been wanting to be 12 for a long time becuase of all the things you can do.
If you liked 11 Birthdays this one is even better. It is about a girl whose 12th birthday is coming up and she is now aloud to get all these things, like a cell phone, but she messes everything up.
It's a strange yet wonderful book. At the end it's not super clear what happened to certain characters, but the gist was relatively fine. Rory Swenson in finally twelve, when her over-protective parents give way and let her do things she's never done before like peirce her ears and babysit. So far, however, they don't turn out as good as they seem. She learns about this girl and guy from school who have an intruiging mystery, and a rare gift that she has never seen before.
