Freaky Friday is a classic comedic children’s novel written by Mary Rodgers first published in the USA in 1972.
A willful, disorganized teenage girl, Annabel Andrews, awakens one Friday morning to find herself in the body of her mother, with her own body missing, having apparently left before she woke up.
Suddenly in charge of taking care of the family’s affairs and her younger brother Ben (whom Annabel has not-so-affectionately nicknamed ‘Ape Face’), and growing increasingly worried about the disappearance of ‘Annabel’, she enlists the help of her neighbor and childhood friend, Moris {Boris} , though without telling him about her identity crisis.
