Switch

Switch by Ingrid Law, 356 pages

“Gypsy Beaumont has always been a whirly-twirly free spirit, so as her thirteenth birthday approaches, she hopes to get a magical ability that will let her fly, or dance up to the stars. Instead, she wakes up on her birthday with blurry vision . . . and starts seeing flashes of the future and past. But when Momma and Poppa announce that her very un-magical, downright mean Grandma Pat has Alzheimer's and is going to move in with them, Gypsy's savvy--along with her family's--suddenly becomes its opposite. Now it's savvy mayhem as Gypsy starts freezing time, and no one could have predicted what would happen on their trip to bring Grandma Pat home . . . not even Gypsy.”  I think this may be my favorite book in the series.  I loved Gypsy and her determination.  This adventure story was perfect in the way it dealt with relationship and had the perfect balance of sweetness and humor.  I would highly recommend this to any kid who likes fantasy, adventure, or humor.
