About the author

Annie grew up as an only child in the English countryside during the 1950s. Her father was not always around but when he was, he would tell her fantastical stories, often with her as the principal character. Annie missed him and his stories, which led her to the fantasy section at her local library, thus sparking life-long love of fiction.

After undertaking jobs such as waitressing, cleaning and factory work, Annie went on to study at University of Warwick and soon started writing.

Annie lives in Norfolk. She has three children, Anna, Reuben, and Maria (the inspiration for the first “Angels Unlimited” book, “Winging It”) and two grandchildren, Sophie and Isabella.

Bence bu kitap çok güzeldi, ama bence Sumru ve birkaç insan daha iyilik yaptığı için gülümsemeli veya teşekkür etmeliydi. Onun dışında gayette güzeldi, okumanızı tavsiye ederim.

Discussion Question
What day do you like? Why?
In my case, I like Wednesday because now, I have only one lesson and two clubs. I have free time before joining Wind Orchestra. I can do my homework, watch a movie, and talk with my friend. This time is very fun and important for me.

When I finished this book, I could learn that we can change our life if we really want to change. The main character, Lenny was at first a little stupid because he bullied a boy. However, finally he stopped what he didn't like. That was awesome!

Such a fantastic book. Wish I could read it one more time but unfortunately, I borrowed it from my school library that time. This book is really inspiring. It tells a story about a boy who's a jerk (his stress made him do it) One day, he was stuck on the same Friday over-and-over-again and then, he started to be kind and at last, IT'S SATURDAY!

The book taught me a lot of lessons and one of them is DONT BE A JERK. To be honest with you, I'm sometimes a jerk at school. So, that's all I guess. Bye!

I could understand the story from this title. It is similar to Zack files. But, if I were him, I also felt like him. I don't want to spend the same Friday forever. Friday is before day of holiday. I can't stand it. It was fun and I enjoyed his mind turned to be better.
