Rating: 5/5Review: This was such a fun book! Quite different from the movies that were based on it, but in a good way. It was also timeless. It would certainly be relatable to kids today. There was plenty of humor, and it was even a little inspirational. There's also some great lessons to be learned here, like to not take things for granted and to be true to yourself, and ma knows best. Also, little brothers aren't really so bad after all. Haha!
Book Description: Annabel Andrews is tired of her mother telling her what to do. She's tired of being told to do her homework, clean up her room, and be nice to her little brother, Ape Face. If she were an adult, she could do anything she wanted, like watch tv all day and eat marshmallows for breakfast.
One Friday morning, Annabel's wish comes true when she wakes up and realizes she's turned into her mother! But after a major washing machine mishap, losing Ape Face, and a terrible teacher's conference, Annabel starts to suspect that being an adult isn't as much fun as it seems.

I love the movie starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan but I've never read the book. I think my daughter might have it. I'll have to check--if for no other reason than it would be quicker to read the The Foutainhead!
I remember the movie too! It was so fun! This would be a good one for me to add to my Gilmore challenge too!
