Annabel Andrews's does not like her mother always telling her what to do. Annabel's perspective changes when she and her mother seemed to have switched bodies on a Friday. Annabel, as the mother, finds out what it is like to deal with the daughter Annabel. After many events and happenings that mother deals with, Annabel realizes how difficult it is to be a parent. She also now understands things about her little brother whom she calls Ape Face. It is a real revelation when she finds how accommodating the brother can be and how fond he is of Annabel. It is indeed a Freaky Friday and one not to be forgotten. Even though the book was first published in 1972, it is still relevant today because family relationships harmony and strife always seem to be the same. The characters are realistic and the activities, conversations, and traits of human nature are all believable. 2002 (orig. 1972), Harper Trophy/HarperCollins Publisher,
