Freaky Friday

Summary: Let Your Freak Flag Fly
Review: Many more people have probably seen one of the three movie versions of Freaky Friday than have read the book. The book differs from the movies in that it is told entirely from the point of view of the daughter who ends up in her mother's body. It is a good story for kids, with a lot of funny moments.

Summary: The originator (or one of them)
Review: Sure, this plot has been done a million times...but Mary Rodgers in this book was one of the first to do it. I think it's wonderful and I read it over and over again--and I'm 21!

Summary: A mother and her 14-year old daughter change places.
Review: The book Freaky Friday is a very funny and adventurous book. It is about a mother and a daughter who think their life is harder than the other one's is. So they somehow switch each other's bodies but not minds. The mother is the daughter for a day and the daughter is the mother for a day. After going on a wild and crazy adventure throughout the day, they realize that each other's lives and more difficult than they thought. I think this would be a great book to read if you are in the 4th, 5th, or 6th grade and you have a wild imagination. I really enjoyed this book.

Summary: Freaky Friday: a book for young and old!
Review: This book has to be one of the wittiest stories written for the YA{Young Adult reader}crowd ever. I first read it when I was in 6th grade and could`nt put it down. My interest was sparked by the Disney film, but I quickly found out that the novel is infinitely superior! I read it again when I was in 10th grade. Not only did I laugh all over again, I could now identify with heroine Annabel`s adolescent angst a lot better. She`s what gives the book its edge: although she has a barbed& sardonic sense of humor, she also is riddled with feelings of low self-esteem and is trying to find out who she really is, instead of what people expect her to be. She really does grow and change as a character, too: although initially angry with her mother for magically changing them around, she comes to realize that it was done in order to give her a learning experience. This is truly a female coming-of-age tale with a female protagonist. It gives young women someone that they can relate to. Much has been made of what great adolescent writers Judy Blume and Norma Klein are, of how their work features strong young girl characters. I love these authors too, but they`ve got nothing on Mary Rodgers! Not many adults can take you back to those feelings of teen inadequacy and also feelings of joy and triumph the way Rodgers can.
Another great feature of the story is the way that the mechanics of the body switch between Annabel and her mom are left ambiguous until the story`s conclusion. Even then, Rodgers leaves it mysterious. She creates a very ordinary everyday world in which the weird happenings appear all the more other-worldly! Her style gets the reader turning pages in an effort to find out what scrapes Annabel will get into next. Other realistically drawn characters in the story include neat freak Ape Face,Annabel`s younger brother; her sometimes annoying but ultimately loving and fun Mom; and appealing boy next door Boris. In conclusion, I also must give 5 stars to the sequel, A Billion for Boris. If only Rodgers had just kept grinding these out and made a whole series! I`m glad to see that today`s girls are still reading Friday, judging from some of the other reviews. Hollywood, how about a hip new remake?

Summary: nothing really happened!
Review: This book is about a girl and her mom changing bodies. I liked that idea but I wish the author made something HAPPEN in the book!!! I mean, it was getting kinda boring in the end.

Summary: Freaky Friday
Review: This book is about a girl named Annabel who wakes up one morning as her mother. She goes though this whole day of adventures and troubles. I thought this book was really good because it was funny, adventurous, and exciting. Sometimes in the book you get kind of confused about who is who and what is going on. This book is sort of a fantasy, because I don't think that you could ever wake up one morning in another persons body. It was adventurous and exciting because of everything that happens on that friday, from when Annabel finds out that she skipped school to when she loses her brother Ben(better known as Ape Face.) I recommend this book to readers that like funny and adventurous books.

Summary: Freaky Friday by Mary Rogers
Review: This book was a very,well written book. To me it was a book that was easy to read and was a little about everyday life and a little fiction! It was a this girl name,Annabel and her mother, who switch places.Meaning, that Annabel is inside her mother and her mother is inside of her daughter,Annabel. None knows about this because they switch back eventrally! I would recommend this book to other people because of all the fun I had reading this book. It is a great book which I would like to share with others.

Summary: Great!
Review: This book was very funny. The woman who wrote it also wrote the script for the Disney movie version of it. They aren't exactly the same though. Still, I think each one is great in its own way. It's a very humurous book and good to have in any collection! Get it now!!!

Summary: Fabulously Freaky By:AC
Review: This book, Freaky Friday, is about a mom (Tess) and a daughter (Anna) that fight constantly. The reason why they fight all the time is because Anna thinks her mom has the perfect life. Anna always says,"Mom you're ruining my life!" Thats starting to get Tess really mad!
They went to a chinese restaurant. They started to fight right in the restaurant!The waiter ask them if they would like a fortan cookie. They both took one. A sudden earthquak started to happen. Or maybe that just happened to Tess and Anna. In the morning they weren't eachother! They switched bodies! Will they ever switch back?
