[Childrens Fiction (Ages 10-12)]
[Read by Cassandra Morris and Jesse Bernstein]
In this savvy twist on Freaky Friday, a tween girl with mean-girl issues swaps lives - and bodies - with the most popular boy in school. Told in alternating boy/girl perspectives, The Swap is perfect for fans of Wendy Mass, Wendelin Van Draanen, and Jerry Spinelli.
Ellie spent her summer getting ditched by her long-time best friend. Jack spent it training for sports with his tough-as-nails brothers and hard-to-please dad. So by the time middle school starts, Jack is thinking girls have it so easy, and Ellie's wishing she could be anyone but herself. Then, BAM! They swap lives 'Freaky Friday' style! Now Jack is in Ellie's body, bonding with her mom and braving sleepover parties, while Ellie reigns as the Prince of Thatcher Middle School but struggles to be a good son. As their crazy weekend races on - and their feelings for each other grow - Ellie and Jack begin to realize that maybe the best way to learn how to be yourself is to spend a little time being someone else.
Full of keen insights, authentic dialogue, and plenty of hilariously awkward moments, The Swap offers a fresh and funny take on friendship, fractured families, and what it means to be truly yourself.

About the Author:
"You be me . . . And I'll be you."
Ellie spent the summer before seventh grade getting dropped by her best friend since forever. Jack spent it training in "The Cage" with his tough-as-nails brothers and hard-to-please dad. By the time middle school starts, they're both ready for a change. And just as Jack's thinking girls have it so easy, Ellie's wishing she could be anyone but herself.
Then, BAM! They swap lives—and bodies!
Now Jack's fending off mean girls at sleepover parties, while Ellie's reigning as The Prince of Thatcher Middle School.
As their crazy weekend races on—and their feelings for each other grow—Ellie and Jack begin to wonder if maybe the best way to learn how to be yourself is to spend a little time being somebody else.
