We're doing this book in upper elementary book group this week. I enjoyed it. Not my favorite book in the world, but it was cute and engaging.
The story is that an enchantment has been placed on these two kids who happen to have been born on the same day. As long as they stay friends, everything's fine. In order to ensure that they stay friends, the enchantress arranges it so that they celebrate their birthdays together every year. But one year, they have a huge falling out (the boy is a jerkface and says mean things about the girl in order to seem cool in front of his friends) and so the next year--on their eleventh birthday, time changes for the two of them and they keep repeating the same day over and over again. Very Groundhog Day. And so they learn important things about themselves, each other, friendship, etc., etc., and in the end they're friends again (sorry to spoil the ending, but you had to see it coming).
It's a decent book. It's told from the girl's perspective, though, so boys won't be too keen on it.
