She doesn't know the guy who looks like an in-control, popular athlete is the youngest of four brothers with a widowed father who has turned drill sergeant to keep his boys in line. What Ellie doesn't know is that to Jack, Ellie looks like someone who has her act together.
And as Jon Scieszka says, it’s “seriously, truly, fearlessly funny!” Read moreĮllie's life doesn't look that great to her, especially when her best friend has a new best friend and they both ridicule her. Now they’re dealing with each other’s middle school dramas-locker room teasing, cliques, video game battles, bra shopping, and a slew of hilariously awkward moments-until they hopefully switch back! Told in both Jack’s and Ellie’s voices, The Swap offers a fresh and honest take on tween friendship, all while exploring more serious themes of family, loss, empathy, and what it really means to be yourself. JACK thought girls had it easy-no fights with bullies, no demanding dads, no power plays-but facing mean girls at sleepovers and getting grilled about your period is way harder than taking a hit to the face at sports practice. ELLIE assumed popular guys didn’t worry about body image, being perfect, or talking to girls, but acting like you’re cool with everything is tougher than it looks.
With one random wish, Jack and Ellie are living life in each other’s shoes.
It’s a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged while not in the classroom. Now a Disney Channel Original Movie, Megan Shull’s smart and funny twist on Freaky Friday is perfect for fans of Wendy Mass, Jerry Spinelli, and Jon Scieszka! This middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 6, especially during homeschooling.
