Skylar and the K-Pop Headteacher

About this book

Skylar and her best friend, eco-activist Dana, are completely (but appropriately) obsessed with AZ8, their favourite K-pop band. So when Skylar's parents ban anything AZ8-related for one whole week and her headteacher confiscates her light-up dancing bunny-ears hat, she's pushed to recklessness.

But as she demands that Ms Callus returns her hat, something strange and slightly scary happens; there's a huge flash of dazzling lightning, and then everything goes black. And when Skylar opens her eyes again, she and Ms Callus seem to have swapped bodies!

Could being in charge for once be quite fun? Or is adult responsibility not as appealing as Skylar had hoped? Dana says that in the films, body-swapping only lasts for 24 hours, but what if she’s wrong and Skylar and Ms Callus can never change back?

This funny, engaging body-swap adventure explores fandom, friendship and empathy via an unmissable dance competition, viral videos and throwing away the school rule book.

Every page is packed with fast-paced action and all sorts of chaos as an 11-year-old superfan and a 71-year-old stick-in-the-mud play out a battle of wills until the nail-biting, and unexpected, conclusion.

A hilarious yet thought-provoking book that will have wide appeal.
