[edit] Main character

Katie Carew, nicknamed Katie Kazoo by a friend (George), had no idea what would happen when she wished that she could be anyone but herself. But now her wish has come true, and-switcheroo!-she keeps turning into other people and even animals! Katie Kazoo, is a fourth grader in the series of novels by Nancy E. Krulik, illustrated by John & Wendy.

Katie Carew is your typical puppy loving, pizza eating, camp going, jump rope playing fourth grade girl. Katie also happens to be an ovo-lacto vegetarian. Katie's adventures with the magic wind started last year when she was in third grade. She'd had a terrible day. First she'd lost the football game for her team. She'd gotten mud all over her favorite pants, and burped really loud in front of her whole class, so she wished she could be anybody but herself that night. Apparently, there must have be a shooting star cause her wish came true in the form of the magic wind. Now, when the magic wind strikes, *Switcheroo!* Katie is turned into another person or animal, and usually causes trouble for whoever it is she has turned into.
