Annotation:
First published in 1972, FREAKY FRIDAY deals with issues of feminism, motherhood, and the eternal, but sometimes strained, bond that exists between mother and daughter. Tired of being treated like a child, 13-year-old Annabel Andrews declares that she can't wait to be a grown-up so that she can be responsible for herself--and herself alone. With a little bit of magic, Annabel's mother makes that wish come true, and the next day Annabel wakes up to discover that she has turned into her 35-year-old mother. At first Annabel is thrilled, and she eagerly plans a day full of television watching and junk food eating. However, as her day wears on, Annabel comes to understand the challenges of her mother's life--and gains new insights into her own relationship with her mom. Meanwhile, her mother has taken over Annabel's body--and she makes a few changes that will certainly surprise Annabel when she turns back into herself. Sequels include A BILLION FOR BORIS and SUMMER SWITCH.

Author Bio
Mary Rodgers
Author, composer, magazine columnist, and screenwriter Mary Rodgers is the daughter of Richard Rodgers, who created the music for such Broadway musicals as "The Sound of Music" and "The King and I." After attending Wellesley College, where she studied music, Rodgers followed in her father's footsteps, composing such musicals as "Once Upon a Mattress" and "Young Mark Twain." Her first picture book, THE ROTTEN BOOK, appeared in 1969. Her best-known work is FREAKY FRIDAY, which was eventually adapted as a movie in both 1976 and 2003.
Praise
"A truly funny story about a girl who--during an incredible day of revelation and opportunity--sees herself as others see her. Fresh, original."
