Finally


I have read some good books by Wendy Mass and was keen to read "Finally"! Well - laugh out loud....

In this story Rory is finally turning 12 , a very exciting day as her parents have always told her she can do this and have that when she is 12. So you can imagine how she is feeling - ready to get going with being able to do so many grown-up things.

Like getting her ears pierced and shaving her legs and getting her own cell phone. Except everything she tries doesn't quite turn out the way she thinks it is going to.
ears pierced = infection
legs shaved = bloody legs
cell phone = yep its hers only to find her number was previously that of a pizza place. She gets lots and lots of phone calls for pepperoni pizzas, sometimes right in the middle of class!


Rory finds out very quickly that life really is a lot more complicated and embarrassing once you turn 12.

I think girls will really like this book a lot as Rory is a very fun and endearing character who has the ability to laugh at herself as well as be honest with herself too.
