A middle school girl finds out that being a teenager isn't all it's cracked up to be in this realistic read about friendship with plenty of LOL moments--and a magical twist!
Seventh grader Addie Bell can’t wait to grow up. Her parents won’t let her have her own phone, she doesn’t have any curves, and her best friend, Grace, isn’t at all interested in makeup or boys. Then, on the night of her twelfth birthday, Addie makes a wish on a magic jewelry box to be sixteen . . . and wakes up to find her entire life has been fast-forwarded four years! Suddenly she has everything she’s always wanted (including a driver’s license and a closet full of cool clothes)! But Addie soon discovers a lot more has changed than she expected—including her friendship with Grace. Can Addie turn back time and take back her wish . . . or has she lost the chance to experience what could have been the best years of her life?
“I <3 this book! Smart, sweet, and hilarious.”—Leslie Margolis, author of Girl’s Best Friend
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 6–10The worst birthday ever confirms what Addie Bell already suspected—that being 12 and in seventh grade stinks. If only she could just fast-forward to being 16! But when fate and magic combine to make Addie's birthday wish come true, she finds that suddenly being in high school is a whole lot harder than she'd thought. For starters, she can't speak French or do trigonometry. Worst of all, her best friend, Grace, now seems to hate her; she has become besties with shallow mean girl Clementine; and although she might look 16, she still has the driving and flirting skills of a 12-year-old. How do you unmake a birthday wish? For the second time this year, Brody borrows a premise from a classic 1980s or 1990s movie and then runs with it to make it her own. A Week of Mondays was a YA take on Groundhog Day, while Addie Bell is indebted to Big. This lightweight, fun romp points out that big changes (some of them unfortunate) can come from small choices thoughtlessly made, and that being yourself with your equally uncool best friend is a lot better than being popular all by yourself. Also revealed: dorky seventh grade boys can actually grow up to be date-worthy! VERDICT A solid purchase for secondary libraries; hand to readers looking for best-friend stories with a hint of romance.—Elizabeth Friend, Wester Middle School, TX

“Plenty of funny moments . . . a fresh take on the age-old theme of being careful what you wish for.” —Publishers Weekly
“Reminiscent of 13 Going on 30 . . . readers will be satisfied.”—Kirkus
