Freaky Monday audiobook

Reviewed by Samantha Clanton, aka "Harlequin Twilight" for TeensReadToo.comThirteen-year-old Hadley Fox (I so love her name!) is not your average eighth grader. She has a 4.3 GPA (I know, makes me feel terrible for my grades in school!), studies like crazy, and constantly has her nose in a book. Hadley, even at 13, strives for Stanford as her college destination, but the one thing she also strives to do is become her gorgeous, loved-by-everyone older sister, Tatum.Matters turn horrifying for Hadley when she forgets to write down an assignment in her "Super Student Planner Plus" and her whole world seems to collapse around her. Said assignment is an oral report for none other than Tatum's favorite teacher, Ms. Pitt; the hippie, eccentric, over-involved teacher who prefers to be called Carol that Hadley can't stand.As Ms. Pitt makes Hadley try to wing her report and allows her a change in topic, something happens. In the Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis fashion, they finish a sentence together, the room shakes (which only they feel), and then they are transformed.This couldn't happen on any worse of a day for either of the two protagonists since today is the first time in months Hadley's crush has spoken to her, and there is the first I-Hate-Mondays DANCE! As for Ms. Pitt (yes, I too can't help but giggle), it is her meeting with the school board to become the head of the English department.Things seem to run amok between both character's lives from family, to love, to even careers, and not quite as smoothly as either would hope. You should also note that there are more correlations between this book and the Freaky Friday movie than there were between the FREAKY FRIDAY book and movie versions, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in this case.I was amused from start to finish because of Hadley from her description of Tatum, which includes this little nugget, "In movies, brunette is code for "friend" and blonde translates to "girlfriend." But this movie logic isn't my reality." And that's just the beginning. We see movies and bands that most will probably notice, and bands that were totally made up (Sketched-Out Boy for example), but either way this is a quick, adorable, and quite amusing read. And it also reminds you that teachers have feelings, lives, and, most of the time, they do actually care.Anyone that is still in school, or even those out of school, should totally read this story. Surprisingly, Hadley, Ms. Pitt, Tatum, and even the more minor characters can teach you something that you probably wouldn't have thought about before, and I mean that in a good way.

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.

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.

Just the fun, magical, lighthearted thing I needed in my life. Far better than the first book in my opinion. If you liked the Freaky Friday movies you'll like this.

This is a great book for 9-12 year olds. My son started reading it a couple of days ago and I basically did not see his nose until he finished it. I can tell a particular book is not captivating his attention when he starts "cheating" on it by beginning several other books at the same time. No cheating with this one. His review: This book is about a teacher and a student switching bodies. It was a very good book. It was funny, interesting, and I liked it very much! I definately recommend this book.

I like this book. It is around the same story line as Freaky Friday. Its about a girl who gets stuck in her teachers body. It is quite humerus. This is a book one could read over and over again. It also encourages you to imagine if this happened to you. This is overall an interesting book.Melissa

Advance Reader Copy A fun and quick read with lots of action and a fast moving story. Lots of humor, lessons on walking in someone else's shoes, and even a little romance.
