13 Gifts By Wendy Mass

A Review by Mythili

13 Gifts by Wendy Mass is about a girl named Tara Brennan. Tara is a girl who does not have many friends. Her parents send her to the small town of Willow Falls for the summer to spend the summer with her aunt, uncle, and her cousin Emily. Some unfortunate events lead her to this mysteries store called Angelina’s Sweet Treats store. The owner, Angelina, gives Tara a list of items that she should bring back to Angelina on a certain day if she was to help Tara with her problem. Tara has to go around Willow Falls looking for each item on her list. She meets a lot of new people and makes new friends who help her find the things on the list. I thought this book was really good and a lot of surprises happen along the way.

My favorite part of the book is when they going around Willow Falls looking for the different items on the list. I liked this book because of the different surprises that happen along the way and the book is very exciting. The author, Wendy Mass, has written other books like Finally and 11 birthdays which are both very good. I would rate this book a 9.5 out of 10 because some parts can get a little boring but others are really exciting. I would recommend this book to girls in 4^th,5^th, and 6^th grade.
