Not a Terrible book...

This story involves Boris and Annabelle. Two kids who upon a major discovery, become involved in somthing that they don't know how to get out of. Mary Rogers is a fantast writer, placing words that create suspense on every page. What if you had a TV station that aired shows one day early? You would become Rich, but...who created it...and how does it work? Join three kids as the struggle to learn the secrets as their lives are put in danger in an okay book.

A book for everyone

This is a book that everyone ages 9-99 will enjoy. Its exploration of what happens when a couple of kids get ahold of a TV that plays tommorow's news is hillarious. Its a book that can be read over and over again and not lose its appeal. This is deffinitely a book that will stay on your shelf for the whole family to read. A winner!

An attention-grabber!

A Billion for Boris' attention-span is good. It's a page-turner for ages 8-88. Ape Face tinkers with an old TV set so it shows tomorrow's news. Boris manages to get it back, and he and Ape Face's sister, Annabel, decide to us etheir new knowledge to help Boris' writer-mother get more money and refinish Boris' apartment. How? By betting on horses. A book which kept me reading until the last page. The sequel to Freaky Friday and the book before Summer Switch, it is ultimately one of Mary Rodgers' masterpieces.

A great story for kids

I agree w/ the review below--this book is better than Freaky Friday. I've never forgotten how I wanted my own TV set that broadcast tomorrow's news today. This story has such charm, magic, and realism in it. Every child should read this book.

Even better than "Freaky Friday"

This is the sequel to "Freaky Friday" and I liked it just as much, if not more. Annabel is one of the best young-adult heroines I've read about--smart, funny and very human. I suggest this book to everyone!
