Ani tak ale ještě není všem podivnostem konec. Grace, mladší sestřička jednoho z jejich kamarádů, upadne v den svých narozenin zničehonic do prazvláštního strnulého stavu, a Amanda a Leo se musí vrátit v čase, aby vše napravili. Cestou do minulosti na všechny Graciny narozeninové oslavy si začínají všímat podivuhodných souvislostí, s nimiž přichází i zvláštní otázky. Pokud chtějí Amanda a Leo skutečně Grace zachránit, budou muset rozluštit zapletenou minulost i přítomnost a cestovat mnohem dál, než by si kdy dovedli představit.

Když se samozvaná stydlivka Tara rozhodne ukrást školního maskota – kozu, aby si získala přízeň spolužaček, dostane se tím do spousty problémů. Její rodiče se navíc rozhodnou, že místo aby ji vzali s sebou na Madagaskar, kde budou zkoumat pářící rituály lemura zlatého, pojede Tara na léto do Willow Falls ke své tetě, strýčkovi a rozmazlené sestřenici Emily. Tara to bere jako dobrou příležitost k novému začátku: koneckonců jí brzy bude 13, takže by toho mohla využít a možná se i zkusit prosadit (v mezích zákona). Tara ovšem netuší, že tohle kouzelné městečko pro ni k jejím 13tým narozeninám chystá velké překvapení. Tentokrát to nebudou narozeniny jako každé jiné!

Amanda se už neuvěřitelně těší na své jedenácté narozeniny, protože pak bude všechno jinak. Jedenáct je přece o tolik lepší než deset! Jenomže celý den je od začátku jedna velká katastrofa. Nejhorší na tom je, že se Amanda pohádala s nejlepším kamarádem Leem, který má narozeniny v tentýž den a doteď je oslavovali vždycky spolu. Když si jde večer lehnout, je šťastná, že má ten příšerný den konečně za sebou. Anebo se mýlí? Nazítří se totiž narozeniny znovu opakují, a pak zas a znova... a znova. Co se to děje? A jak se z té nekonečné spirály vymotat?

Jindra Swensonová čeká celý život na to, až jí bude dvanáct. Má dokonce celý seznam věcí, které se těchto narozenin týkají – mít mobilní telefon, jít do obchoďáku bez rodičů (jen s nejlepší kamarádkou), malovat se, nosit kontaktní čočky, jít na smíšenou oslavu narozenin... Kdykoliv Jindra po něčem touží, odbydou ji rodiče slovy, „Až ti bude dvanáct, až ti bude dvanáct, až ti bude dvanáct…". Konečně. Za 18 hodin, 36 minut a 52 sekund je to tady. Jindřin život oficiálně začíná! Ponoř se do zábavného, vtipného a překvapivého příběhu o touze rychle dospět navzdory všem indiciím, které radí ještě chvilku počkat…
