Instead sheÂ’s dressed in an itchy costume her mother picked out for her Hollywood-themed party (Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, even though the flying monkeys have always creeped her out). Meanwhile, across town, her ex-best friend, Leo, is celebrating their joint birthday with a huge bash that includes a hypnotist, a football star, a giant iguana, and a rock band. SO not fair! Amanda canÂ’t wait for the day AFTER her birthday so she can stop thinking about the fight that led her and Leo to have separate parties for the first time in their lives. ThereÂ’s just one problem. The next day is her birthday all over again.In this hilarious and touching adventure, Amanda must figure out how to get unstuck, in more ways than one.
