Reach for this book when your child is struggling with school-day friction, complaining that their teachers are 'unfair' or 'mean.' This body-swap comedy follows thirteen-year-old Hadley and her strict teacher, Ms. Osborne, as they magically trade places for a day. It is an ideal pick for navigating the middle school transition, where the student-teacher relationship often becomes more complex and professional. Through the chaos of teaching a class and managing a middle schooler's social life, both characters gain a profound new understanding of the pressures the other faces. While the premise is fantastical and hilarious, the emotional core focuses on accountability, empathy, and the realization that adults are human too. It is perfectly suited for kids aged 8 to 12 who enjoy school-based humor but are ready for deeper conversations about perspective-taking.
