A humorous look at what it means to FINALLY turn twelve years old.

You can pierce your ears when you're twelve. You can go to the mall with your friends when you're twelve. You can babysit little Timmy next door when you're twelve. You can get a cell phone when you're twelve. Hey, you can even ride in the front passenger-side seat when you're twelve.
When you're twelve, when you're twelve, when you're twelve . . .
My name is Rory Swenson, and I've been waiting to turn twelve my whole life. In exactly 18 hours, 36 minutes, and 52 seconds, it will finally happen.
My life will officially begin.

Really good! I love this series, but already read all the books!

For Rory, turning twelve is like finally graduating from childhood. When she's twelve, she'll finally be able to get her ears pierced, have a pet, and earn many other teenage privileges. At first, Rory is ecstatic to become "grown up", but once she dips her toes into the pool of young adulthood, she isn't so sure she wants to swim. It seems like Rory's friends are growing up too fast for her. And when a strange woman shows up one day and asks a question that Rory thought she knew the answer to, Rory finds herself questioning whether she's growing up too fast.

OMG awesome book and i mean it

This is about a girl who is turning 12 named Rory Swenson. She wants to be treated like an adult and thinks her life starts when she turns 12. She makes a list about what she wants to do once she turns 12. Like riding in the front seat, getting contacts, staying up late, having her own house key, walking to school, having a cell phone, piercing her ears, and babysitting. She gets to do them all (or get them all), but it doesn't go as it should've. If you want to know more, you'll just have to read the book and find out for yourself! And onmce you start, you'll never want to set it down.
