A humorous look at what it means to FINALLY turn twelve years old.
You can pierce your ears when you're twelve. You can go to the mall with your friends when you're twelve. You can babysit little Timmy next door when you're twelve. You can get a cell phone when you're twelve. Hey, you can even ride in the front passenger-side seat when you're twelve.
When you're twelve, when you're twelve, when you're twelve . . .
My name is Rory Swenson, and I've been waiting to turn twelve my whole life. In exactly 18 hours, 36 minutes, and 52 seconds, it will finally happen.
My life will officially begin.

Good book. but you might become a little traumatized by bummied. loved it!
This book is about a girl that just can't wait to turn 12. She gets to drink coffee, babysit, and wear make-up. She goes on a field-trip when she gets stuck in a drain pipe. A lady helps her out and gives her this mysterious advice. What does it mean? She has no clue.

i love this book so much! my friend Aileen is reading it and idk whether or she likes it or not, but from what she is reading, she must like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
School friends, cell phone, birthdays it all talks about this in this book. It was truly interesting, A 13 year old girl who didn't even have a cell phone!!!
At first... it's just so~ boring... Actually I wanted to rip it...i did not... it's a library book! Anyways... I know!! it's gotta be reall cool at the end!
it was really good
looks good
I have a baby sister that is pretty much like a girl version of Sawyer lol I feel lucky cause i got all those stuff wayyyyy back then ;) this story is about growing up falling down and trying to fit in.
I think this is a good book to read because it is an average l lexile for 11-13 year old girl. I would enjoy reading this because of what I read in the summary I can really relate to how Rory was feeling.
