About this ebook

Wendy Mass turns to another magical birthday: 13!When Tara, a self-proclaimed shrinking violet, steals the school mascot, a goat, in order to make some friends with the popular crowd and gets caught, she gets herself in a heap of trouble. In addition, her parents decide that instead of taking her on their summer trip to Madagascar to study the courtship rituals of the Bamboo Lemur, she must go stay with her aunt, uncle, and bratty cousin Emily St. Claire in Willow Falls. Tara thinks it's a good time to start over; she'll be turning 13 after all, so she might as well make the best of it and perhaps even attempt to break out of her shell (in a non-criminal manner). What Tara doesn't know is that this charmed town has something big in store for her on her 13th birthday. It's not a typical birthday. But then again, nothing is Willow Falls is exactly typical!

Ratings and reviews

I love the Willow Falls series, there is so much whimsy and magic in such a seemingly ordinary town. I need to go back and reread these books and pick up on all the foreshadowing Wendy Mass has done; this series is full of it and I love it!

Ah, The magic has returned to the story, and we ment a few new characters. Well, I'm not sure David is a new character on not, I mean we did see him at least 9 times in book one.

This book is the best and the worst. I makes since and it is not confusing like somebody said. I am... books are AWESOME!😂😅!!!! Hope you respond Wendy Mass(are you my cousin?) Bye Bye.😠
