11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass 267 pp.
I read this as a possibility for use with my kids book club. It didn't make the cut. It's an okay story but I had to keep reminding myself it was written for kids when I found problems in the story. Essentially it's about two kids, Amanda & Leo, who were born on the same day and who celebrate every birthday together until their 11th because of something that happened on their 10th birthday. Their 11th birthday keeps repeating (like the movie "Groundhog Day") while they try to figure out how to stop it. Of course, there is a mysterious old woman and an old family feud causing all this. As I said, it's an okay book, but just okay.
