Plot: This series is surprisingly an unknown series. I stumbled onto the first book of the series 11 Birthdays while exploring new books in the library. I was in love with it from the first page. The series is magical............ especially the first book 11 birthdays.
 Best friends Amanda and Leo were born on the same day in the same hospital and have been celebrating their birthdays together ever since. But on their 10th birthday when Amanda hears Leo joking about her with his friends they stop talking to each other for a full year. A year passes and their 11th birthday arrives. Both of them feel its strange to celebrate their birthdays without one another but still they do. For Amanda, it nothing like she planned. The next day when they wake up, its the same day once more and only both of them realize it. It continues for 11 days..... over these days Amanda and Leo become best friends again. 

Finally stars Rory Swenson, a girl waiting to be twelve her entire life because every time she asked for something, her parents would say, ' When you're twelve.' Well now that day has finally arrived! Rory Swenson can do whatever she wants and she's got a list to keep track. But as she starts her list she finds herself face to face with many mishaps. Yet she stays positive and continues to help others along the way. After a party, Rory visits the house of a girl whom she helped and is surprised to find that everyone whom she helped along the journey is a family. She learns that there's more to life than increasing its speed and realizes that she'd rather be a kid than accomplishing the things on her list.

So I have only read these two but I look forward to reading more. I'll keep you updated.

My Opinion: I highly recommend this series for tweens and  younger teens. These are amazing books which are enjoyable and awesome. Love the series.

Poem Review: Judge Me Not

Image
I found this really awesome poem online which very inspiring and perfect for a child's recitation. It's written by Audrey Coatesworth. Judge me not by my face, My colour or my hair. Judge me not by my appearence As that would not be fair. I came to Earth as I am. No discussion of my look. Let it be by all my efforts. The use put to my hand. The courage in bad times, Endurance getting through. Kindness to another, so please judge me by what I do.          Thank you. Actually there are supposed to be a few more lines but I put for a kid's recitation so I guess this is enough.
