Leap Day

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
                                      # of Pages: 212
                                     Author: Wendy Mass

                                                      A Mango Shaped Space

                                                      Every Soul a Star

                                                      Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall 

                                                      Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life

                                                      The Candymakers 

                                    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".
