Andrews Family

Mary Rodgers · 3 novels · 1972–1982

Mary Rodgers wrote a loose set of comic novels about one suburban family, each built around a different fantastical role-reversal: a mother and daughter swap bodies for a day in Freaky Friday, a boy discovers a television that shows tomorrow's news in A Billion for Boris, and a father and son trade places in Summer Switch. The books share characters and tone rather than a continuing plot.
