Synopsis

Hadley is pretty much the model student: straight As, perfect attendance, front row in class. So what if she's overstressed and overscheduled: She's got school covered. (Life—not so much.)Ms. Pitt is the kind of teacher who wants you to call her by her first name and puts all the chairs in a circle and tells her students to feel their book reports.Hadley wishes Ms. Pitt would stick to her lesson plan. Ms. Pitt wishes Hadley would lighten up.So when Hadley and Ms. Pitt find themselves switched into each other's bodies, the first thing they want to do is switch right back. It takes a family crisis, a baffled principal, and a (double) first kiss to help them figure out that change can be pretty enlightening.Even if it is a little freaky!

Reviewed by Samantha Clanton, aka "Harlequin Twilight" for TeensReadToo.com Thirteen-year-old Hadley Fox (I so love her name!) is not your average eighth grader.

Aww. It's fluffy and a bit bizarre with the contemporary lingo and pop culture references, but it's good-hearted fluff. I'm far more fascinated by the fact that the cover features a girl balancing Westerfeld's "Midnighters" on her head. Seems unexpectedly meaningful for such a silly little book.......more

Freaky Monday I enjoyed the book Freaky Monday. My favorite part of the book was when Hadley and Ms. Pitts switched bodies and they panic because they don't know how they've switched bodies. I really enjoyed the conversations in the book they were very well written with detail. The one thing I would......more

A very modern take on the 'freaky body switch' concept, there's an original take here when a student and teacher switch bodies and experience a few of life's firsts in the process.......more
