A Good One

The "Katie Kazoo" series is about an elementary age girl who received a granting of her wish to be someone else. In each book in this series she experiences (temporarily) a change into someone else, and during the period of change she usually creates a conflict that she has to work to resolve after she turns into Katie again. My daughters (similar in age to Katie) love these books and usually consume them in a single day (or a single sitting). The conflict is low-grade and typically funny or light-hearted. "No Biz Like Show Biz" is about Katie turning into her friend who has the lead role in the school play. The transformation occurs during pratice. Katie is not as talented as the person she becomes, setting up the obvious conflict. All is resolved in the end. An enjoyable one.
