Finally
Well, just to catch up, I will make this entry short. To what I remember, the main character is Rory. Rory Swenson. And she will turn twelve. Or rather, she turned twelve. And a bunch of unlucky things happen.
For one, she accidentally adopted a killer rabbit. By the name of Kyle R. (You'll realize if you say it very quickly a lot of times, you're describing the rabbit.)
Then, her face swells up (from her first try of makeup). Then, her ears swell (or something of that sort), when she tries to get her ears pierced. Then- oh, I think you had enough. so I'll say, etc.
All when a celebrity decides to film their next movie in their school. Yes, and they would hire some students who "blend in" with the crowd. Of course, after she's hired (for she gets $20 for every time she comes), all the devastating things happen.
In the middle of the "devastating things," she meets many people who she helps. One is a girl that likes that celebrity, so she has a whole album of photos of her and him together in the same picture. How she makes it -she cuts out the head of the celebrity's girlfriend (who turns out not to be, actually) and replaces it with her own. It accidentally falls open as that celebrity's girlfriend is there. Rory ends up distracting her so the celebrity's girlfriend can't make fun of it or fully register the sight into her brain. Another, when she sees a girl who wants to audition for a ballet school but misses the tryouts by a minute,,, so the stubborn teacher-person doesn't let her tryout... well, smart Rory (learns it from a girl she babysitted), while the teacher-person goes away, stands on the table and turns the clock backwards, about two minutes behind the real time. And when the teacher-person re-enters the room, the girl re-submits for the audition, and this time, she's on time.
But she still lasts to the end. But then there comes the party, the last thing on her list to what she will get when she turns twelve. To be able to go to a boy-girl party.
When she gets there, she sees that its more than she wants. How when she gets there, there's a game. A game, where you dare to kiss someone. Then, she realizes its too much and she'll have to go much slower in growing up...
In the end, she leaves the house and waits at the ballet-girl's house. The girl who Rory helped. But when she enters the house, she sees a big surprise. The whole family is people who she helped! From a boy in her school who she helped find his way to his classroom to the girl who let her album of pictures fall open at the wrong place and the wrong time. She sees her kindness all in one house! (its my favorite part!!)
Well, I'd give it a 10 out of 10. A funny, may-be-inspiring, and understanding life book. I'd suggest anyone of the age 12 or anywhere near it!!
