Twelve, Finally!

Turning 12 is a pretty big deal, especially for Rory Swenson. She’s made two lists of the things she wants to do now that she’s the big 1-2, and she’s determined to get them done!
 
Wendy Mass’ book Finally follows Rory as she tries to complete her lists. Get a cell, go to her first boy-girl party, get her ears pierced, ride on an upside-down roller coaster and staying home alone are just a few.
 
As Rory tries to complete things on her list, she learns that growing up isn’t as easy as it seems. After mishaps with shaving her legs, many wrong phone calls to a pizza place and multiple allergic reactions, Rory wonders if her list was really what she wanted.
 
To top it all off, the famous movie star, Jake Harrison, is gonna be filming his movie at her school. Will Rory be able to catch his adorable eye?
 
Can Rory keep everything under control and not freak out as she tries to complete everything on her list? Or will it all be a bust? Grab a copy of Finally by Wendy Mass (in stores now) to find out!
 
This book is great for anyone who is about to (or already has!) turn 12. You could learn about the pre-teen years or even reminisce about them. If you’re wanting more of Wendy Mass’ books, check out her website at wendymass.com.
