The Swap Audiobook Summary

Now a Disney Channel Original Movie, Megan Shull’s smart and funny, very readable book The Swap is a great summer reading (or anytime!) choice. Will appeal to fans of R. J. Palacio and Katherine Applegate, as well as of graphic novels such as Click, Invisible Emmie, and Smile.

With one random wish, Jack and Ellie are living life in each other’s shoes. He’s her. And she’s him.

ELLIE assumed popular guys didn’t worry about body image, being perfect, or talking to girls, but acting like you’re cool with everything is tougher than it looks.

JACK thought girls had it easy–no fights with bullies, no demanding dads, no power plays–but facing mean girls at sleepovers and getting grilled about your period is way harder than taking a hit to the face at sports practice.

Now they’re dealing with each other’s middle school dramas–locker room teasing, cliques, video game battles, bra shopping, and a slew of hilariously awkward moments–until they hopefully switch back!

Told in both Jack’s and Ellie’s voices, The Swap offers a fresh and honest take on tween friendship, all while exploring more serious themes of family, loss, empathy, and what it really means to be yourself. And as Jon Scieszka says, it’s “seriously, truly, fearlessly funny!”

Plus don’t miss Megan Shull’s heartwarming Bounce–in development as a movie featuring YouTube star Jojo Siwa!

Goodreads Reviews

Aj the Ravenous Reader

April 14, 2019

That was a really fun, entertaining and heartwarming read. It was nice to once again read a middle school book. At first I wasn’t into it that much because it feels like this familiar and predictable plot and I’m just reading it to kill time but as the story goes on, I find myself liking it more and more. The development of each character is quite adorable and I’m really happy with their self-discoveries and changes when they literally experienced living each other’s lives. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie. Will definitely watch it with the family.

Even though this book follow middle grade characters, their stories are ones to which people of all ages can relate. Told between two perspectives, this "Freaky Friday" inspired novel draws readers in with its strong emotions, real-life struggles, and laugh-out-loud humor! Overall 5/5 stars; I can't wait to see what Shull writes next!

This book was a delightful surprise. It was on the desk when I was checking out books for my kids in the children's section of my library, so I threw it in my bag, thinking it might be a somewhat amusing change from the Freaky Friday type switching bodies story. Instead I got a sensitive and moving story of empathy and perspective, very well suited to its young teen target audience, of both sexes. I was surprised by how unexpected the eventual outcome was and how sweet the ending was, without being soppy. Really well done all the way through.

I loved this book!! It was amazing!! It is super funny, and I'm going into 7th grade, so it was perfect. And I know exactly what Ellie (Jack) is going through, which makes it even more funny. I think boys and girls around 11-14 should DEFINITELY put this book on their reading list. It teaches you that boys and girls both have it tough in middle school, and don't judge a book by its cover. I really loved this book, and even in you're older or younger, you should still read this amazing book!!

I loved this book so much. The characters that swapped lives were a boy and a girl so it was funny reading how they dealt with some pretty awkward situations. This is a book that will make you laugh a lot. Although some parts were funny, both characters had pretty sad situations so reading this you will sympathize with them. The Swap is like a much better version of 'Freaky Friday'. Once you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down.

Yes, switching bodies has been done plenty of times before, but not in the way Megan Shull writes it. I immediately became invested in the two main characters Ellie and Jack. Both struggle with issues other cannot see. This book is true to middle school angst. Fun, loving, and heart-warming. I was pleasantly surprised by this book.

This book was in my to-be-read pile since I got the ARC but I never got the time or mood to read this. There's something about it that makes me think twice whether to read it or not. I was thinking it will be like Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell or Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern and to be honest the feelings while reading this was the same one when I was reading the books I have mentioned above, and that's a good thing because I enjoyed it. I was so ready to finish it in one day but I was sad because I have to do something else like house chores and work in the office so finishing it got really delayed that's why half of the book was finished yesterday, June 21.The story flow was a pretty one. I always imagine myself to be in a body of a guy and to feel what they feel because I always wanted to be a guy but it won't ever happen I know so for a minute I considered Ellie a lucky character because she was able to swap body to a guy and not just a guy but a popular guy! This book is full of awesomeness because each turn of the page? Either you will laugh, smile, get pissed off or learn something from each individual lives.This type of book are the ones you will hardly put down. All you wanted is to read until you reach THE END yet, when you did you'll probably ask for more. The cover of the book is also catchy and so with the title. I got curious the first time I saw it. I suddenly remember Every Day at this book. Living in somebody else's body? well have you imagined now how this one looks? I think people who will read this will enjoy everything.This is such an easy read but fantastic book that you will fall in love with.
