After an argument with her mother, thirteen-year-old Annabelle Andrews goes to bed mad. The next morning, she wakes up in her mother's body. Annabelle decides she now has everything she ever wanted. Adults don't have to go to school or do homework. Adults don't have people telling them what to do. Annabelle can eat anything she wants for breakfast and spend the rest of the day in front of the TV. Right? Well, it turns out things don't go as she thought they would.

I remember watching this movie in the 70's starring Jodie Foster, but I didn't remember the details. My library had the audiobook, so I decided to give it a try. The story is told from Annabelle's point-of-view. I actually expected we'd read about her mother's side of things, but that didn't happen. This is a cute story geared toward grade school students, but it was also entertaining for adults. My rating: 4 Stars.
