Addie Bell's Shortcut to Growing Up

(3) 4-6 The day after twelve-year-old Addie wishes she were sixteen, she wakes up to find her wish has come true. But being sixteen isn't what Addie expected: she's a shallow jerk who's no longer speaking to her best friend. While the premise is familiar (think 13 Going on 30), it's well executed; Addie's naiveté about being a teenager will make readers laugh out loud.
