We'd all love to know what the people around us really think about us or what's going on, but we never know for sure. These B Chapters took a little getting used to, but they absolutely fleshed out the story.
Or maybe she wonders why someone dislikes her. Maybe Josie thinks someone did something, but that person has no clue and is thinking about something else completely. It's interesting to see what everyone is thinking about everything. We get little paragraphs with the thoughts of friends, family members, teachers, enemies, crushes, classmates, etc. B Chapters (Such as Chapter 1B) are always from the POV of other characters mentioned in that chapter. A Chapters are always from Josie's POV (Chapter 1A, for example). Mass utilized a unique writing technique when writing LEAP DAY. From worrying about whether or not she'll earn her driver's license to trying out for the much-coveted role of Juliet for the school's upcoming production of ROMEO AND JULIET, Josie's birthday is as ordinary as it is extraordinary. While it starts off well enough-she's having a fabulous hair day and has been given car keys as a gift-the rest of the day gets off to a rocky start. She's excited about her special day and hopes everything goes perfectly. Josie is a Leaper, one of the few born on February 29th. The book centers around a girl named Josie on her sixteenth birthday-also known as her fourth birthday. What better book to read on a day that comes once every four years than LEAP DAY by the always-innovative Wendy Mass? The novel is one of Mass' teen offerings most of her titles are middle grade.
