I know it isn't Leap Year this year, but I read an awesome book about a girl who was born on Leap Day. It has a very unique point of view as I will tell you.
Title: Leap Day

Summary: Josie Taylor has lived sixteen years of life, and yet
when her birthday approaches, she's preparing to turn four.
That's right, she's a leaper! Getting her driver's license and
trying out for Romeo and Juliet won't be the only unusual parts
of her day... Because this day sets her apart from everyone else.
Rating: 3.5
Awards: None
Opinion: This book was told from the point of view of Josie
then everyone around her, chapter by chapter. However it
does have some heavy issues in it including germaphobia, teen
pregnancy and more. However the chance to read the other
characters' points of view and even seeing what will happen in
their future made this book a "must read".
