Annabel Andrews is tired of her mother telling her what to do. She’s tired of being told to do her homework, clean up her room, and be nice to her little brother, Ape Face. If she were an adult, she could do anything she wanted, like watch TV all day and eat marshmallows for breakfast.

One Friday morning, Annabel’s wish comes true when she wakes up and realizes she’s turned into her mother! But after a major washing machine mishap, losing Ape Face, and a terrible teacher conference, Annabel starts to suspect that being an adult is not as much fun as it seems. One thing’s for certain–this is one freaky Friday she’ll never forget!

Hadley is pretty much the model student: straight As, perfect attendance, front row in class. So what if she’s over-stressed and over-scheduled: She’s got school covered. (Life—not so much.)

Ms. Pitt is the kind of teacher who wants you to call her by her first name and puts all the chairs in a circle and tells her students to feel their book reports.
Hadley wishes Ms. Pitt would stick to her lesson plan. Ms. Pitt wishes Hadley would lighten up.

So when Hadley and Ms. Pitt find themselves switched into each other’s bodies, the first thing they want to do is switch right back. It takes a family crisis, a baffled principal, and a (double) first kiss to help them figure out that change can be pretty enlightening.
Even if it is a little freaky!

“Jennifer Stone’s reading is spot-on adolescent melodrama. However, the overall situation feels superimposed on the characters, and the plot holds no surprises for those familiar with Rodgers’ classic. Still, this is a humorous excursion for fans of “Freaky Friday””

Note-Mary Rodgers not only wrote the book Freaky Friday, but also the screenplay. Her musical, Once Upon a Mattress, was Carol Burnett’s first big hit.
