Inhaltsangabe

Jodi Milner is eagerly awaiting her 13th birthday and can't wait to throw herself into the challenging seventh grade social scene. The horoscope fanatic has designed her life around being a Scorpio, but things aren't working out as expected.What lies ahead for Jodi unfolds in this new page-turning middle-grade novel, The Fake Birthday. In a light and amusing manner, the story addresses the issues of lying, materialism, popularity and the angst of budding romance. The reader meets Jodi's family and friends as her daily astrological forecasts backfire. The story climaxes when Jodi learns she has a "fake birthday". The pre-teen's world begins to unravel, plunging her into an identity crisis with explosive consequences. Discovering the truth about her birthday is a turning point that leads to a series of revelations and adventures that even the stars could not have predicted. In the end, Jodi realizes that it takes more than one's birth date to shape the whole person.
