Addie Bell's Shortcut To Growing Up

Author(s): Jessica Brody

Early Chapter Books

Seventh grader Addie Bell can't wait to grow up. Her parents won't let her have her own phone, she doesn't have any curves, and her best friend, Grace, isn't at all interested in makeup or boys. Then, on the night of her twelfth birthday, Addie makes a wish on a magic jewelry box to be sixteen . . . and wakes up to find her entire life has been fast-forwarded four years! Suddenly she has everything she's always wanted (including a driver's license and a closet full of cool clothes)! But Addie soon discovers a lot more has changed than she expected-including her friendship with Grace. Can Addie turn back time and take back her wish . . . or has she lost the chance to experience what could have been the best years of her life?

Product Information

"This lightweight, fun romp points out that big changes (some of them unfortunate) can come from small choices thoughtlessly made, and that being yourself with your equally uncool best friend is a lot better than being popular all by yourself. Also revealed: dorky seventh grade boys can actually grow up to be date-worthy! . . . Hand to readers looking for best-friend stories with a hint of romance." --School Library Journal "Plenty of funny moments . . . a fresh take on the age-old theme of being careful what you wish for." --Publishers Weekly "Reminiscent of 13 Going on 30 . . . readers will be satisfied." --Kirkus Reviews "A perfectly brilliant book for middle school!" --Ms. Yingling Reads "Hilariously funny while still being sentimental and warm." --Eclectic Bookworms
