been waiting for this one because i knew it would be just straight shenanigans and silliness and it is and it’s delightful

(novelizations of 2x09 “those freaky mcguires” and 1x24 “night of the day of the dead”)

Freaked Out is a fun and nostalgic read, especially for fans of Lizzie McGuire. The Halloween episode it’s based on was always a standout, and the book does a great job of bringing that spooky fun to life. It’s light, entertaining, and a great throwback to the early 2000s Disney Channel era. That said, since it's a direct novelization, it doesn’t add much beyond what fans already know from the episode.

I remember I read this when I was in my tween years! I loved Lizzie, so I enjoyed reading this (plus I got to see it on an episode too)

Ik had nog een Lizzie in mijn kast staan en ik kwam vandaag net een boek te kort om net zoveel gekocht als gelezen te hebben. Dat kwam dus mooi uit! Net als de eerdere boeken, en de tv-serie, is dit boek vermakelijk en bevat het twee relatief korte avonturen. Veel inhoud heeft het niet, maar daardoor zijn deze boeken, net als de afleveringen van de serie, wel allemaal los te lezen. Als je nog nooit een aflevering van de serie gezien hebt, ga je de boeken niet kunnen waarderen. Als je net als ik ooit een liefhebber was, is het heerlijk tijdverdrijf!

A great spooky book! Including the first part Lizzie and Matt switch bodies and in the second part the school dance is haunted by the dead!

[James Crawford · Rating 4 out of 5]

As usual, this book has two stories. The first one is about Lizzie and her brother, Matt, exchanging bodies, then having to go to school. Kate bothers Matt/Lizzie, and Matt is able to get back at her in a way that Lizzie probably would never try. Lizzie manages to get through her day as Matt in elementary school, then, later that night, they both switch back.

Stories like that can be cute, but they should, at least, have a reason for something happening. The body-switch just happens; no reason at all is given for that occurring. Likewise, when they switch back, it's just a random event, apparently. I thought that the story might end with “this was all a dream” type of thing, but it didn't, which makes this story cute, but utterly unrealistic.

The second story is better, where there's a Halloween party at school and Kate shows disrespect towards the culture of another country and ends up paying for that disrespect. It's a funny story in many ways, but also one with a message; respect others.

When my friend, Shalini handed me some books to read this is one of the books I chose. I started reading as soon as I got home & I just couldn't stop until I finish reading the first part. Lizzie and Matt switched their bodies. I wish I had that chance. That experience. I’m not sure whether I'd wish to switch my body with my brother. May be someone really awesome of the opposite sex. I might freak out first but I'm sure that’d be pretty awesome… :D
Well, about part 2. It was about Fright Night. Halloween. Nope. I didn't enjoy reading it much. But part 1 was really, really cool!!..

I didn’t like this book. It was annoying and boring plus the writing style was really annoying. It was repetitive. I used to love this show and maybe I just outgrew it or maybe it wasn’t meant to be a book. I remember the second half (Halloween part) as the TV Show. I did hate Kate but I also don’t like Lizzie because she is too worried about what other people think and that annoys me.

[Tiffany is awsome !]

In the first of two stories Lizzie thinks her little brother, Mat couldn't get any Freakier, but learns she is way wrong. When the McGuire siblings suddenly switch bodies, Lizzie starts to see how warped her little brother's world really is--firsthand like dirty teeth and scab picking! To make matters worse, Matt's gotten into Lizzie's head, (literally)
sad right ! :/

[Neville Ridley-smith · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bleugh. Another tv show translation done badly. May have been fine as a tv episode. As a novel, parts of it just didn't make any sense. The old switching bodies routine is usually a slam-dunk. This writer managed to make it merely boring. I couldn't be bothered reading the second half of the book.

I don't understand Part 1 . I don't know how that guy switch off Lizzie and her brother body. Quit weird actually .

[Mallory]

Very good book

[Azriel Najeh · Rating 3 out of 5]

was fun =P

[Juliana]

I think this book was really fun to read. I had so many questions answered as I read on. Also, it was funny when Lizzie and her brother switched back and they were hugging, that was my favorite part as well.
