Without giving anything away about the plot, I'll say that one of my favorite parts of Bounce was meeting such a diverse group of characters. While reading Bounce, I laughed, I cried, and I rejoiced.

Bounce has new characters but the same heartfelt messages and themes from The Swap.

Megan Shull's distinct writing style and voice shines through in Bounce, and readers will immediately feel like they are back with the voice and style they loved so much in The Swap. Having just finished reading Bounce, I know they will LOVE it too! That is why they are counting down the days till Bounce is released. I teach middle school and my students LOVE The Swap. Three cheers for Megan Shull's new book, Bounce!!! This book feels like a combination of Wendy Mass's 11 Birthdays and Megan Shull's The Swap, and it is the perfect blend for readers who love these books. But as her new life spins out of control, Frannie begins to worry if she’ll ever get back home.Ī celebration of the power of love and connection, Megan Shull’s extraordinary new novel captures one girl’s journey to find her voice, heal her heart, and discover the joy of bouncing back. Plunged into lives and adventures she’s only imagined-from being a pop star to meeting one super-cute boy-Frannie finds courage in the unforgettable friends and families she meets along the way. Amazing! There’s only one catch: waking up as someone else keeps happening.

When Frannie makes one desperate, crazy wish-BOOM!-she magically bounces into a whole new life, with a totally different family. And her parents have just announced they’re going on a last-minute vacation-without her. Seventh grader Frannie Hudson wonders what it would be like to trade in her family for a new one. Perfect for fans of Wendy Mass, Holly Goldberg Sloan, and Meg Cabot. The author of The Swap delivers another hilarious, heartwarming, and empowering novel about a girl who relives the same day over and over again-each time as someone new.
