Surprising gift when they are suddenly able to literally view life “Seventh-grader Ellie O’Brien and eighth-grader Jack Malloy are given a Walk in each other’s shoes-and discover they kind of like them…Shull keeps this story fast and fun.” - Publishers Weekly Nurse’s office results in a body-switch for the weekend, they get to “Ellie and Jack barely know each other, but when a chance meeting in the Jack and Ellie are such wonderful characters and thoseīrothers-wow!” - Frances O’Roark Dowell, New York Times bestselling author of Dovey Coe and The Secret Language of Girls Ready to learn what’s going on inside the minds (and bodies) of the “Funny, honest, and touching, The Swap is the perfect book for tweens Guys to miss it.” - Jon Scieszka, New York Times bestselling author Hilarious! Seriously, truly, fearlessly funny. “The Swap kept me turning pages way past my bedtime! Hilarious and yet surprisingly touching at the same time.” - Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author of the Princess Diaries series A great,Įntertaining read that will appeal to boys and girls.” Hilarious-truly evocative of middle school experiences.
(death, divorce) as well as social (bullying, sibling relationships,įriends) with clumsy grace.
“Told in alternating perspectives, Shull creates two authentic mainĬharacters with unique tween voices. And as Jon Scieszka says, it’s “seriously, truly, fearlessly funny!” 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. 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!
