Wendy Mass turns to another magical birthday: 13!

When Tara, a self-proclaimed shrinking violet, steals the school mascot, a goat, in order to make some friends with the popular crowd and gets caught, she gets herself in a heap of trouble. In addition, her parents decide that instead of taking her on their summer trip to Madagascar to study the courtship rituals of the Bamboo Lemur, she must go stay with her aunt, uncle, and bratty cousin Emily St. Claire in Willow Falls. Tara thinks it's a good time to start over; she'll be turning 13 after all, so she might as well make the best of it and perhaps even attempt to break out of her shell (in a non-criminal manner). What Tara doesn't know is that this charmed town has something big in store for her on her 13th birthday. It's not a typical birthday. But then again, nothing is Willow Falls is exactly typical!

This is a book about a girl who learns that stealing is dangerous because your parents might send you away for the summer to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousin in a small (and weird) town called Willow Falls. She discovers the true meaning of life along the way, many people help her learn this but a boy named David shows her life in the game is better than life on the sidelines.

I loved this book because I loved the series so far. I liked when she had to find all of the play props and had to make a play for it.

my friend Miah is reading this book she says it's very funny
