Happy Birthday! Again. And again, and again...

Most people enjoy having a birthday, but what would you think if you lived that same day over and over again?  That's what happens in 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass.  Best friends Amanda and Leo were born on the exact same day, and they had celebrated every single birthday together, until something happened at their 10th birthday that drove them apart.  After having a disastrous 11th birthday party (separate from Leo), Amanda woke up the "next" day...and it was her 11th birthday all over again!  She finds out the same thing is happening to Leo.  Do they have to keep repeating the day until they get it right?  Will salvaging their friendship be enough?  And does the mysterious elderly woman, Angelina D'Angelo, have something to do with the situation?  This is a fun book, and at the beginning of every chapter, you'll wonder if the SpongeBob balloon is still there...
