The Never-Ending Birthday

Description

Twins Max and Anni have had the worst birthday ever. Max has missed a vital goal in the football Cup Final and Anni has fallen out with her best friend. Feeling thoroughly miserable, Max and Anni sneak downstairs at midnight and light the candles on their untouched birthday cake and, as they blow them out, they make a wish . . . to redo the day! When they wake up, their wish has come true! And this time Max and Anni aren't going to mess things up. But little do they realize that they are going to have to relive their birthday again . . . and again . . . and again.

Katie Dale had her first poem, 'The Fate of The School Hamster', published in the Cadbury's Book of Children's Poetry aged just eight and hasn't stopped writing since! Inspired by her mother, Elizabeth Dale, who is also an author, Katie loves creating characters, both on the page and onstage. After training as an actress and touring the country as Shakespeare's Juliet, she was a winner of the SCBWI Undiscovered Voices competition, which launched her writing career. She has published books for toddlers up to teens, and her novels have won several awards and are published all over the world. The Never-Ending Birthday is her second novel for Macmillan Children's Books.

An energetic and entertaining read I devoured it in on sitting. * Book Lover Jo * Fast paced and fun, with meaning and a lot of heart. * The Reader's Corner * The Never-Ending Birthday is perfect summer reading, funny and engaging with more twists and turns than a roller coaster! * Powered by Reading * I was cheering the twins on as they worked hard to change events in the bizarre time loop they were stuck in. * Nayu's Reading Corner *
