Summary: why don't people write like this anymore?
Review: Freaky Friday has been one of my favorite books since I discovered it in my grandmother's apartment when I was 8. I used to take it out and read it every time we visited until finally, she presented me with it as a gift. Annabel's cynical and yet human perspective on being stuck in her mother's body has been a support system for me throughout my own teenage years not to mention being consistently entertaining. The Disney movie with Jodie Foster is most likely the best movie adaptation as Mary Rodgers wrote the screenplay. It seems to capture her intent better than either of these newfangled ones wherein those who have written them appear not ever to have read the book. Still, if you enjoy any of those, I would highly recommend reading this book. It may be slightly dated, but the philosophy behind it is timeless.

For those who have already read it, more are A Billion For Boris and Summer Switch both of which are equally good though if you want more Annabel perspective A Billion For Boris is best while those of you who want to know what goes on in Ape Face's head had better read Summer Switch.

Summary: A good book
Review: Freaky Friday is a great book about a little girl and a mother who hate each other and suddenly they wake up one morning and they are each other! They have to go about their entire day acting and being different people an on the way, they run into all sorts of odd situations.
This was a great book that kept me entertained for hours and always kept me on my toes. It is kind of a suspenseful book and I would recommend it to people of most ages. Actually, I would recommend it to young children and teenagers.
I enjoyed this book because it was more laid back than most books that I have read. It was somewhat of a children's book yet still is entertaining for most anyone.

Summary: Freaky Friday
Review: Freaky Friday is a story about a girl, Annabel that got into a fight with her mom one day about how parents didn't have to do anything, but the kids had to go to school, do their homework, do their chores, etc. The next day, she wakes up to find that she switched bodies with her mother. They have a day or two at this and the whole story is about the way their days went. Annabel's day as her mother went pretty rough. She had to take care of Ape Face, her annoying little brother, and herself, or her mom in her body. She finds out that her mom's life is really hard so both her and her mom's life were actually both similarly hard.
This is one of my better books. I liked the story and the whole idea of switching bodies from the mom to the daughter. I also liked how the book was really kind of meant for girls. This book has some really funny parts in it too. Annabel's life is also pretty cool. She used to have braces but her mom went to the dentist and took it off for her and now the guy she had a crush on likes her back.(Or at least thinks she's pretty.)
My favorite part of this book was the end part of it. I really liked it because it's the part where Annabel makes up some scenarios of what she wished had happened or how she didn't want it to happen. This part was the funniest part. I liked how she had a very creative mind and made up all the scenarios. This part is the best part of the book.

Summary: Book Review For Freaky Friday
Review: I really enjoyed Freaky Friday because it was very comical and it made ordinary things that happen in everyday life seem interesting. At first glance, it looked quite boring, but while reading the summary, I decided that it would definetly give me a good laugh.In the story, thirteen year old Annabel Andrews has a fight with her mother one night, regarding her freedom to take care of herself. With Annabelle claiming that her mother's life is easier, her mother switches their bodies. Annabelle lives a day in the life of her mother and realizes that her mother really has a lot on her mind. During the day, Annabelle goes to a parent-teacher conference regarding herself and is told that she is probably the smartest child any of the teachers have ever encountered, but that she will never amount to anything if she doesn't start applying herself. Also, she grows fonder of her little brother she calls "Ape Face", and sees all the things that her mother risks just to make her happy.

Summary: I love this book i really think that you sould read it!!!!!!
Review: I think that the book Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers is really good. It's about a teenage girl named Annabelle Andrews, her mom and her little brother that she calls "Ape Face." Annabelle thinks that her mom has a better life. This all happens in a restaurant were her mom, her moms' fiancé, her little brother and her going to. The owner of the restaurant give Annabelle and her mom a fortune cookie and then they open it at the dame time and read it at the same time but they don't know it, they both hallucinate and feel an earthquake. The next morning they wake up and there in each other's bodies they are really freaked out. I really like the book it was so hilarious I was practically laughing the whole time. I really think that if other people read it they would not have a plain face on the whole time. I didn't like it because the movie had more information so I thought that the movie was a little better.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A pretty good read
Review: This hilarious book, based on the hit movie, is a fun, light read for ages 8 and up. Although it was written in the 1970s, it still has a lot of appeal and charm to all kinds of audiences. This book is based on the 2003 version of the movie, but you'll find that many parts are different.

Annabel Andrews was a twelve-year-old girl with braces, brown hair, and brown eyes. She was constantly getting into fights with her brother Ben who she called Ape Face and feeling trapped by her parents by not being able to do whatever she wants. So one day, Annabel and her mother have a large fight in which her mother states she will pay for it. So Annabel wasn't really surprised when she woke up the next morning and found she was sleeping in her mother's bed, wearing pins and rollers in her hair and a long nightgown. Figuring that her mother had something to do with this, Annabel decides to play along and see what it's really like to be an adult.

Turns out, it's not easy as Annabel thinks. She has problems with the washer, Ben nearly gets lost in the city because Annabel forgot to pick him up, and she madly goes from one situation to another trying to figure out a way to fix it. Soon enough, Annabel finds herself wishing that she could be back in her own body again and can only hope that her mother, who Annabel figured had ditched school, will do something about it. The ending is okay; it's not too good, not too bad. I think I would recommend this book on an overall basis; fans of the movie may want to try something different.

Rating: 4 stars
