Katie Carew is a fourth grader who sometimes can become other people. This usually creates a disaster of some sort. In this book, when Katie switches places with T-Jon, a member of the hit band The Bayside Boys, some of the things she says cause the band to break up - but all ends well. This entry in the Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo series will be especially appreciated by young One Direction fans.
