Book 1


When a cool movie star comes to Jeffersonville to shoot a film, he jumps at the chance to change places with Jake and live like a normal kid for awhile. Soon Jake is riding around in a limo, signing autographs, and being a good actor ... maybe too good!


When Jake switches bodies with his sister's dog, Lance, he roots through the garbage, devours dog food, and has to put up with the affections of a little dog named Foo-Foo.

Santa is tired of being Santa. He hands Jake a small red and green envelope, and whump -- Jake is at the mall listening to kids ask for presents and pulling at his beard!

When Jake switches bodies with supermodel Lanny Shanks he discovers the pluses and minuses of that job--he has killer legs and long blonde hair, but he is hungry all the time and he has to fight off the advances of Principal Blanco.

Jake's nervous when the DITS malfunctions near Vlad, a creepy new custodian. There's no way he wants this guy's body. But nothing happens...Until nighttime, when Jake finds he's turned into a vampire! It looks like there's no way he can get Vlad to take back his body. And if Vlad won't, who will?
