Ratings and reviews

This is one of the best books I've ever read. Seriously. And that's because it's really relate-able. It's also humorous. It's just so weird how Rory can't get a lot of the things that were on her 12th b-day to-do list. She didn't get disappointed, she just went on with it. This'll be a great book for girls 10-12 years old. Plus, it might be a great book for book reports, FYI. :)

This book is a great book for tweens. It is very funny. Rory cannot wait to turn 12 because when she turns 12, she can get a pet, have a cellphone, wear makeup, and many more things. But, when she does all of the things she wants to do they all go wrong. Read this book!!! It is sooo good. I couldn't put it down it was so good!!! READ IT!!!

There wasn't 1 moment or sentence I didn't like in this book! It was the best book I've ever read and now it is my favorite book.I recommend this book to every girl. It has a fun dash of the things she does wrong.
