5.0 out of 5 stars Katie Kazoo Super Switcheroo, March 9, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Whirlwind Vacation (Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo: Super Special) (Paperback)

Do you like exiting books then you should read Katie Kazoo Super Switcheroo? Then you should read Katie Kazoo. Something is always happening.

The main character is Katie. Katie is a good problem solver. The story is about Katie switching bodies with some one. You really don't know who she will switch bodies with. Sometimes she switches bodies with people and sometime she switches with animals. She runs into a lot of bad problems a whole lot. One time she turned into a guard that guards the queen. But then she laughed and got him fired. But he found another job as a comedian. And that is what he really wanted to be.

I would probably recommend this page turning book to a girl , because it is about a girl. So any girls that like extreme should read this book.

A Whirlwind Vacation is an excellent book because there is so much excitment and action. This story talks about Katie and her family taking a trip to Paris. When she is alone, the magic wind comes and it ruins Katie. I love this book because Katie is funny and the book is hilarious. I know you will like it too!
