Have you ever wanted to know what the people around you are thinking? Well you can get inside everyone’s head in this novel. Meet Josie Taylor, who was born on February 29th, Leap Day. She is about to turn sixteen, which means it’s her “fourth” birthday, and even though her rare birthday is always special, this one is going to top them all. With a driving test, scavenger hunt, play auditions, and the Sweet Sixteen initiation at the lake, Josie learns things about herself, her family, and her friends that she never thought possible. Written in a style where you get to see everyone’s point of view, this book is an exciting coming-of-age novel that keeps you turning the pages! (Grades 7 & Up)
