Purchase options and add-ons

Fans of Lauren Myracle and Wendy Mass will adore the second book in this hilarious series about two BFFs who master middle school with a list of twelve goals they MUST achieve before their thirteenth birthday.

Inspired by the success of their first birthday bucket list, Ari and her BFF Kaylan set twelve new goals for the next school year. And number one is “keep our friendship strong.”

But after a life-changing summer at camp, Ari feels torn between Kaylan and her camp friends. And as she faces down everything from boys to bat mitzvahs, Ari needs to figure out how to be her best self—before her friends come together at her thirteenth birthday party.

Or the big win she and Kaylan were hoping for may become an epic fail.

Review

PRAISE FOR 11 BEFORE 12: “Omigosh, I LOVE Lisa Greenwald’s new book. Brilliant, laugh-out-loud hilarious, and heartbreaking (in a good way), 11 BEFORE 12 is probably the best middle school friendship ever!” — Lauren Myracle, New York Times bestselling author of the Winnie Years and Wishing Day series

“The voice of a tween dealing with the pressures of adolescence is authentic, and this book will entice those who want to read about a relatable, funny young woman.” — School Library Journal

“Kaylan’s first-person voice perfectly captures the horrors of starting at a new school, from the prospect of eating alone in the cafeteria to the awkwardness of meeting a new neighbor boy.” — Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Lisa Greenwald is the author of the TBH books, the Friendship List series, the Pink & Green trilogy, and several other novels for tweens and teens. A graduate of the New School’s MFA program in writing for children, she lives in New York City with her husband, daughters, and mini Bernedoodle, Kibbitz.

5.0 out of 5 stars a delight!

I loved 12 BEFORE 13, the second book in the “Friendship List” series by @lisanngreenwald! It’s so much fun, so funny, and gosh, so true to how friendships work in middle school. This series is about best friends Kaylan and Arianna. Their birthdays are one day apart, so they make lists of things they promise to accomplish together before their next birthday. The first book, 11 BEFORE 12, stars Kaylan, and this one is Arianna’s story. I loved getting both girls’ perspectives and thought that was such a fresh, clever way to structure a series. (And I think the third book might have both perspectives!).
.
.
Ari’s story starts during the summer before seventh grade, when she’s away at a Jewish sleepaway camp, and it spans the beginning months of school, as she’s adjusting to being back home, preparing for her bat mitzvah, and dealing with some family and friendship struggles. I LOVED Lisa Greenwald’s depiction of camp. I didn’t go to sleepaway camp, but I had good friends who did, and I was sort of mystified by the intensity of the friendships they formed there. This book provides such an authentic look at the intimacy of camp friendships! I also loved watching Ari reflect on what she wants to say in her bat mitzvah speech and what it means to her to be Jewish. There aren’t a whole lot of middle grade books depicting kids who connect with their religion; I love that this one does! Like every book I’ve read by Lisa Greenwald, this was a delight!

I loved the first book. I don't know what else to say. The second book wasn't as good, but it was still SUPER good. This is perfect for tweens, and 11 before 12 was my favorite.

I really like Lisa Greenwald' s. She explains the true meaning of friendship, even if you are in fights or you are miles apart. Also because of all of the twists and turns also s o met I'm especially you have to be honest and pain instead of keep and no pain. And that no matter how hard life gets you always will have friends to lean on
