Katie's reasons why it's better to be Melody: -She's a boy magnet. I'm more like a boy repellent.-Her parents never make her do any chores. Meanwhile, I get stuck babysitting almost every day. -Melody's parents are still married. Mine are, too . . . to other people.
Why Melody thinks Katie has the ideal life:-Her house is fun and lively. My house is empty and lonely. -They have family dinners practically every single night. My dad almost never comes home. -Everyone always talks about how pretty I am, like that's the most important thing, like that's all I am . . .
Twelve-year-old Katie is insanely jealous of her best friend, Melody. Turns out Melody is jealous of Katie, too. When they both wish for the exact same thing at the exact same time, to redo summer as each other, their wishes come true. Katie is Melody and Melody is Katie and neither one has the experience she expected. In this be-careful-what-you-wish-for tale, two best friends learn that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

From School Library Journal Gr 5–7—Best friends and soon-to-be seventh graders Katie and Melody each think the other has the ideal life. Katie envies Melody's perfect parents, gorgeous boyfriend, and beautiful body, while Melody longs for a more close-knit family and a figure that won't solicit unwanted attention from strangers. In the spirit of Mary Rodgers's Freaky Friday (HarperCollins, 1972), Katie and Melody find themselves in one another's bodies after a well-timed wish on the last day of summer. Predictably, as the summer resets and each girl lives the other's life, she begins to realize that the grass may not be quite so green on the other side. Once this realization is achieved, Margolis brings the story to a quick, tidy resolution. Katie and Melody are sympathetic characters, and tween readers will relate to the envy that twines its way through their friendship. The chapters alternate between the two girls, and while their points of view and family lives are in stark contrast, their narrative voices are less distinct. This book doesn't have much to add to the body-switch formula, but readers looking for a summertime read with boys and best friends will enjoy it. VERDICT An additional purchase for many collections.—Lauren Strohecker, McKinley Elementary School, Abington School District, PA

SMH By Momof2inNY Granted, my 10-year old enjoyed the read.. but when she told me that on page 3 one of the girls saw her bestie (age 12!) in a hot tub kissing a boy (her "future boyfriend" as the story was told), I was not happy. Disappointed that a Scholastic book for tweens would give the thumbs up to 12-year olds that this is appropriate, or normal behavior for young girls their age. For this reason, I can not recommend the book for the 9-13 age group. Its a shame, too, as the theme, "grass is not always greener" is one that I felt would have been beneficial.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great book with a walking in the other person's shoes message By Ly G It is an updated freaky Friday but with friends instead of family members. The 'walk in someone else's shoes' story is usually a good theme.I quite liked that it was a friend switching instead of a family switching. It was nice to see the change of what you think someone else's life is like in a dynamic of home life and parent's expectations and how maybe being the cute girl with the guy isn't really as awesome/important as you think it might be.Maybe it is more of a parent trap/freaky Friday mix. Since its girls the same age changing lives parent trap style, but they have to change bodies freaky Friday style. Either way. This one is done pretty well and is a good read for tweens who can use a reminder that everyone has their own individual struggles.

I just started the book 2 days sago and I was up at midnight last night reading it. I couldn't stop This is the best book I have ever read in all of my 10 years. This book is great for 9-14 year old girls. There is Drama,Comedy, adventure and thrill. I have a 11th grade reading level and this book was perfect for me.I liked it because it also had to do with the beach and surfing,and I am a total beach bum. XoXo
