13 on Halloween [Unabridged] [Audible Audio Edition]

by Laura A. H. Elliott (Author), Jeanne O. Whitehouse (Narrator)

Editorial Reviews

Twelve-year-old Roxie wants to be like Adrianne, the popular girl who gets everything she wants - a trampoline, a flock to prowl around the mall with, and invitations to parties. When Roxie invites all the popular kids in the eighth grade to her thirteenth birthday party on Halloween, they all come. And a boy - the boy - actually talks to Roxie.

Roxie has the best night of her life until the popular kids decide to celebrate her birthday in a way Roxie never expects - in her attic, with a gift that is out of this world and a pact to never tell a living soul what happens next.

Book one in a four book series.

5 stars! I loved this book. I am in my 20's and could relate to the main character when I was her age. This is one book you will not want to put down. Trust me you will want to read the next book in the series too!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and creative! July 27, 2012

By Kid at Heart

Format:Paperback

This was a wonderfully engaging book. I enjoyed main character, Roxie. She was very identifiable. I mean, who hasn't felt like an outsider at some time in their life? Laura Elliott, takes a creative approach in her novel with "Roxie Speak," Roxie's unique lingo. Roxie is an animal lover and relates qualities of certain animals to label things in her life. Popular kids are flamboyant peacocks, while she is a dodo whose life ambition is to become a peacock. I won't ruin the story for you by telling you if she achieves her goal, but do recommend reading this book. I just noticed the audiobook too. Very cool. It should really bring the characters to life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun October 28, 2011

By Patti Larsen

Format:Kindle Edition

Loved this book! Great for the 11-14 set, very true and almost uncomfortable in places because of that truth. I really felt for Roxie, the lead character. She has a very strong voice and a problem I have no problem connecting with--she wants to be popular. In fact, she'll do anything at all to be one of the 'peacocks', including risking everything she is in a strange place called Planet Popular.

The writing is strong, story engaging and the characters very lovable--even when you think maybe you shouldn't. The plot took me somewhere I wasn't expecting and I dove into that. I would have loved some more book at the very end--to have explored the Pandora's box writer Elliot opened up, but that's just me, I think--I hope she writes a sequel!
