  Maggie Malone and the Mostly Magical Boots

  Jenna McCarthy and

  Carolyn Evans

  For Maggie Malone, every day is Freaky Friday with the help of her very special new boots.

  When Maggie Malone’s Aunt Fi gives her a pair of used, scuffed, plain brown boots for her birthday, she’s less than impressed. Why couldn’t her life be more like tween-pop sensation Becca Star? Instead, Maggie’s stuck going to a new school in ugly boots. Until she wakes up in Becca’s shoes—literally. Maggie’s new boots are magical. They won’t make broccoli taste like macaroni and cheese, but they will let her spend a day in the life of anyone she chooses.

  Maggie Malone Gets the Royal Treatment

  Jenna McCarthy and

  Carolyn Evans

  Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes can be a royal pain.

  Every day is Freaky Friday for Maggie Malone and her Mostly Magical Boots. Whenever she slips on the MMBs, Maggie gets to be whomever she wants for a whole day. And whose life could be more fun to try on than the glamorous Princess Wilhelmina of Wincastle’s? Even better, Wilhelmina is a bridesmaid in the Royal Wedding of the Century!

  But even pampered princesses have whopper-sized problems—and hers is an evil archenemy named Penelope. Will she survive Penelope’s tricks or will the whole wedding turn into a royal disaster?
