About this book
Mary Rodgers's Freaky Friday has been making middle graders laugh aloud for more than forty years. Now the original body-swapping tale has a brand-new repackaged cover just in time for the upcoming spin-off movie sequel, Freakier Friday.
Annabel Andrews is tired of her mother telling her what to do.
Finish her homework, clean her room--and worst of all, be nice to her little brother. If she were an adult, Annabel would do anything she wanted. She'd watch TV all day and eat marshmallows for breakfast.
Then, one freaky Friday, Annabel's wish comes true. She wakes up in her mother's body . . . and quickly finds out that being an adult is not as easy--or as fun--as she thought!
