K-pop meets Freaky Friday in a hilarious middle-grade body swap
adventure from Costa-winning author, Luan Goldie.
When 11-year-old K-Pop obsessed Skylar inexplicably switches bodies with her super strict
71-year-old headteacher, Ms Callus, she’s thrown into a hilarious world of dancing old
ladies gone viral and school rules thrown out the window, as she tries to figure out how on
earth to swap back!
But then the chance to meet her favourite boyband AZ8 in real life changes everything,
and Skylar must decide whether her K-Pop dream come true is worth risking being stuck as
an old lady for ever...
Singing with laugh-out-loud moments, this is a joyful and uplifting tale of friendship and
fandom, tackling big themes of empathy, activism, and of finding your true self.
