12 Finally-By Wendy Mass

Hi,
I have just recently started Twelve Finally. This book is in the series 11 Birthdays. I really enjoyed 11 Birthdays so I wanted to read the next book in the series. I am only a few pages in, so I will tell you about what I have read so far. Rory Swenson is the main character, she has a big personality.  She has been waiting her whole life to turn 12. She made a list to show everyone how excited she is. Her list only says the basics like; to get her ears pierced, to go to the mall with friends, to wear makeup, and to get a cell phone. In the first couple chapters she counts down the remaining minutes till she turns 12. I was excited to turn 12, but not that excited! I feel this book is trying to say a expression that you will remember. In my next post I hope to tell you what the expression i think the author is telling us. This book reminds me of Twelve by Lauren Myracle. Both these authors put the main characters in the same situation, even though Winnie goes on a different journey than Rory does it still gives me the same feeling  that Twelve  did. After only reading a few pages of this book, I feel this book fits the category "BOOKS THAT YOU CANT PUT DOWN"! I am excited to read more and find out the adventures and excursions this book takes me. Happy Holidays!
