Amanda and Leo used to be best friends. They were born on the same day and celebrated every birthday together. Then Leo was mean at their tenth birthday party and they haven't spoken since. Amanda's eleventh birthday ends up being terrible, but what's worse is when she wakes up the next day, it's her eleventh birthday all over again! Morning after morning she wakes up on her birthday, and it doesn't matter what she does differently--she repeats the same day over and over again. Find out if Amanda figures out why this is happening to her and how to make it stop... or if she's doomed to repeat the same day for the rest of her life!

Albert
Audience: 1st Grade - 3rd Grade

Every day Albert stuck his hand out the window to check the weather before going outside. It was always too cold, too hot, too wet, too dry, and ultimately Albert never went out. One day Albert stuck his hand out the window as usual and something amazing happened! A cardinal built her nest there and couldn't be persuaded to move. As Albert helps care for the cardinal family -- and as the cardinals care for Albert -- he starts to find the outside world a much more appealing place.
