I liked this story and was inclined to turning pages and staying up until past 1 am.

I liked the pacing and characterization. I enjoyed the plot and the resolution. Altogether a very enjoyable story of discovering both a new self and past self at the same time. It was all about amnesia giving second chances.

Tons of fun and tons of heart! This is exactly what I love about Gordon Korman's books. The characters are memorable and the humor is top-notch, but it also delivers some great lessons for middle-graders. Recommended for fans of Freaky Friday.

Great book to read with my daughter. We both like the character development and finding out more about Chase.

Another great one by Korman! Lillian and Mitchell really enjoyed this as a read aloud. The way he switches characters between chapters is a neat way to tell the story. It’s a good recipe that he should keep following.
