The Sequel to Freaky Friday

Although it is not as good as Freaky Friday, I enjoyed Summer Switch. The plot is basically the same - parent and child switch bodies, but the narration is different. Instead of just one person telling the story, Summer Switch swaps back and forth between the two. Please do not think this a carbon copy of Freaky Friday. It is realy a funny book in its own right.
