Okay. 13 Gifts. What did I think of this?
Personally, not one of my favourites. I have many favourites.

When I read this I got kind of bored. Like, the plots of the series were getting quite repetitive.
Angeline did this. Birthdays happened. Etc.
And Leo and Amanda aren't present much. (For my liking.)

However.

It's not a bad book. Childish, yes, but if it were standalone, it would be great. (Kind of.)
The names are getting boring though. (11 Birthdays, Finally 12, 13 Gifts.) More originality would have been better.

Interesting book. It kind of merged with the previous two. This is the fiddler on the roof one, right? Or is it the scavenger hunt?

(I'm writing this months after reading...so yeah)

Not a bad book. It could have been better, though.

This was sweet, but I felt like the "mystical" factor was completely unnecessary. Also it had so many shades of Jeremy Fink but wasn't as amazing as that one. Stlil, a good read and a nice book--I ended up giving it to a 13-year-old who sat next to me on the plane.

Love Wendy Mass's writing style in general, and this book is no exception. I liked the touch of supernatural, but the book took place in an apparently very commonplace small town. Would recommend primarily for girls. Touch of romance, but hand holding is as racy as it gets.

I got it at a book fair because it looked very interesting so I read it. As soon as I was done I found that it was the most recent book in a series!! I was shocked because that is something I NEVER do.

It was a great book though! I have read the other two books in order. If u like a story w/ a twist this book is for you.

I love these books. This one was especially cute since the characters from the previous two books played such a large part in the story. I am now recommending these to kids left and right.

This is the 3rd book in her Willow Falls series (11 Birthdays, Finally) and by far my favorite. Each book is told from a different person's point of view but intertwines with characters from previous stories, tying all the characters and plots together. Another stroke of genius writing!! Can't wait to read the next one in the series!!!

This book is the third book in the Willow Falls series all written by Wendy Mass. This book was about a girl named Tara who is sent to the home town her parents grew up in, which of course is, Willow Falls. Tara meets a mysterious lady, some new friends and gets 13 gifts. But the whole time she is in Willow Falls, she is trying to figure out, why her parents sent her here?

This book is a great story for teens and I recommend reading the whole series! I really liked the way this was written and I like the characters personality. Wendy Mass did a fabulous job
