K-pop fandom and Freaky Friday collide in a hilarious body-swap story that celebrates the fans who drive one of the biggest musical sensations in the world.
Skylar is convinced that life for her as an eleven-year-old is way harder than for any adult, including her cranky principal, Ms. Callus. The only good part about being eleven is being a massive K-pop fan, even if her parents do ban her from all things AZ8, the best K-pop boy band in the world. When a freak accident causes Skylar and Ms. Callus to switch bodies, Skylar finds herself trying to convince the world of AZ8's supremacy, going viral in a K-pop dance video, and somehow running her school, all while stuck in a seventy-one-year-old's body. And then she gets the chance to meet AZ8 in real life. With the help of her bestie, Dana, and her own wits and passion, Skylar must decide whether her K-pop dream come true is worth risking being stuck as an old lady forever. A feel-good tale singing with laugh-out-loud moments, Skylar and the K-Pop Principal is a joyful and uplifting story of friendship, fandom, and chasing your dreams.

      A K-pop-obsessed tween in London swaps bodies with her strict school principal. Eleven-year-old Skylar Smith is obsessed with the South Korean boy band AZ8. Skylar and her environmentally conscious best friend, Dana, buy their posters and photocards, learn their dance routines, and watch their variety show. But Skylar has a run-in with Ms. Callus, the mean principal of Saint Margaret's Academy (school motto: "Achieve or hang your head in shame"). As a fed-up Skylar argues with Ms. Callus, a weird flash of green light engulfs them both, and they wake up in one another's bodies with no idea how to switch back. Skylar, inhabiting her 71-year-old body, enters a dance video in a contest for tickets to see an upcoming AZ8 concert--and goes viral. Capitalizing on her new reputation for being fun, she also uses her adult powers to make changes at Saint Margaret's, although running a school is way more stressful than she expected. With Dana's help, Skylar must find a way to fix things before she's stuck as Ms. Callus forever. This comical, lighthearted story is an ode to K-pop fandom, but the hilarious jokes and situations will entertain readers unfamiliar with that world. As in many body-swapping stories, themes of selfishness, empathy, and gaining an appreciation for another person's troubles feature prominently. Skylar and Ms. Callus present white; there's ethnic diversity in the supporting cast. A funny, feel-good tale. (Skylar's K-pop Dictionary)(Fantasy. 8-12)
