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.

Great book! Wendy Mass did it again :0
I love all books written by Wendy Mass, but this is my favorite
Oh my gosh this book is amazing it has so much action and excitment. Wendy Mass has done it again!
Rory has been dreaming of turning twelve for ages. When she finally is, she tries to complete her list of goals. My favorite part was when she babysits Emily and gets tricked! Although, I felt sorry for Rory's days of bad luck, this book was really good and funny.

If you read the rest of the books, you will learn she falls in love with Jake, the movie star.
