The Mary Rodgers Treasury

With the publication of Freaky Friday in 1972, Mary Rodgers captured the hearts of young readers as easily as she did with her acclaimed musical scores during her long career on Broadway. Called "unputdownable," Freaky Friday was followed by two more novels chronicling the madcap adventures of the Andrews family. Now, for the first, all three hilarious books are together in one volume. In Freaky Friday, Annabel Andrews wakes up one morning to find that she has turned into her mother. That is, her mind is in her mother's body. What could possibly be worse than having to wear her mother's clothes, take care of the house, and wear rollers in your hair every night? Plenty! But if Annabel thought that experience was weird, she is in for a bigger surprise when her brother, Ape Face, starts predicting the future in A Billion For Boris. It's all because of The Box — a strange machine that Annabel thinks will help mankind. Boris, her boyfriend, thinks it will make him a fortune. Ape Face has other plans altogether. Summer Switch completes the circle as Ape Face trades bodies with his father. It's bad enough finding yourself in your father's body, on your way to the most important business meeting of his life, but it's worse to realize that your father is now you, and about to ruin your reputation forever. Readers will laugh out loud as they follow the Andrews family from one time-boggling adventure to another.
