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!
With one random wish, Jack and Ellie are living life in each other’s shoes. He’s her. And she’s him. 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. 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.
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. And as Jon Scieszka says, it’s “seriously, truly, fearlessly funny!”

This book is really good. It is about a boy and a girl who switch places. They both think it is really hard but they learn to cooperate with each other, and their problems.

I love this book! It's about a girl named Ellie who's "friend" Sassy Gains is always mean to her. Its also about a boy named Jack Malley who's dad is really hard on him. On the first day of school they both end up at the nurse. Then they switch bodies! it's a freaky-friday like twist exept with a boy and a girl. i promise this book is hilarious and a book you will not want to put down.
