Addie Bell's Shortcut to Growing Up is a book that you can't stop reading. It is fun filled and fascinating. You will always want to find out what is next right until the end of the book! It is about a 12 year old girl who wants to be 16. One night after she gets in a fight with her best friend Grace, she wishes to be 16 o a magic jewelry box given to her by her crazy neighbor Mrs. Toodles. When she wakes up the next morning, to her surprise, she is 16 and has so many cool things including a dog that she had always wanted. However, she finds out in the past 4 years her friendship with Grace has been broken and she has a 4 year time memory gap. Her body is at 16 but her brain is still at 12. I would like it very much if Jessica Brody would make Addie Bell's Shortcut to Growing Up Part 2! ( )
