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 make-up 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 that 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?
My Review:
I love Jessica Brody’s books so when this one came out I had to grab myself a
copy and I wasn’t disappointed.
Eleven year old Addie wants to grow up so she can have a
mobile phone and wear make-up so when on her twelfth birthday she is given a
magical jewellery box by the elderly women down the road who she likes to visit
she wishes before she goes to bed that she's sixteen.
When Addie wakes up she finds out that she is now sixteen
and her entire life has changed, he best friend Grace is no longer her best friend
and she can’t figure out why and she finally has a dog, a mobile phone and a
draw full of make-up that she has no idea how to use.
At first Addie loves her new life but then she realises that
she misses her old life and her best friend but in order to go back to being
twelve Addie must find the key to the magic jewellery box and take back her
wish.
Can Addie find the key or will she be stuck sixteen forever?
