Leap Day

Leap Day is a book about a girl named Josie Taylor. The book is written in two ways all throughout: one chapter in Josie's POV, and the next told in third person omniscient about everyone Josie encountered in the previous chapter. The way it is written opens your eyes as to why certain people act certain ways. Sometimes the reason someone does something is childish and stupid, but it makes you realize that we never actually know what people are doing or thinking.Example: Missy hates Josie. Josie has no idea why. She think that maybe she said or did something mean to Missy. The truth actually has nothing to do with anything Josie did to Missy. (I won't spoil it this time) Missy just has a personal family problem that Josie reminds her of. It is very ignorant of Missy to hate Josie for this, but it still shows how sometimes we never really know what people are thinking when they do certain things. This is a great book that is good for anyone (no matter what age) even though it may be short (212 pages).EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!EXTREME SPOILER!!!You've been warned about the spoiler. From the beginning, I could guess what Katy's note said. Well, half of it. I didn't know anything about the crush on Ms. Connors, but I could tell that the note said she was gay. Why else would a note be that important? I literally ran around my house jumping with joy because I finally found out I was right. All throughout the book, Wendy Mass puts you in anticipation to find out what the note says, but she never tells you what it says until the end when they are at the lake. This was a good book. Sorry if I spoiled it for you, but you were warned.

Loved this book as a young girl. Shows different perspectives and different life situations people could be dealing with. Writing style is great and makes you realize everyone is fighting their own battles and to remember things may be different from how they appear at first. Good book. Bought for my niece 15 or so years after reading so she can enjoy too!

At first I didn't understand how every other chapter the perspective changed. But then I grew to liking that a lot. It was like being God. I say what in Josie's eyes but then I got a backstage pass to what was really happening in the next chapter

six years ago I read this book, and for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was called finally one day it popped up as a suggestion for what I might like to read in my email. I throughly enjoyed this book again, I liked the concept of the story that the girl is celebrating her leap year and the ups and downs of that.

I loved this book because it all has yo do with the main character and her cool story. Highly recommended by me. I think that this book is the best. I just love this book. It is super cool

My twin daughters (12 yrs old) love Wendy Mass books, and have read and enjoyed several. Only one daughter has read this one, and she wasn't crazy about it. She says, "It didn't flow."

I thought that this was a very relatable book for teens around the age of the main character Josie. It was a little suspenseful urging thou to read more. It was also written very thoughtfully and artistically from more than one characters point if view.

It was a really good book. If u like reading my realistic fiction and like reading what goes on in a go life this would be great. Hope u enjoyed it I did!! :)

Not appropriate (yet) for my 10 year old daughter. Maybe when she’s 14 . . . Glad she told me, before I let her read it, that her grade 5 friend read it 3 times because she likes the “inappropriate parts”!!!!
