baking the cake with my mom this afternoon. Oh, how could Kevin do this to me!”
    “To you ?” Katie asked.
    Suzanne blushed. “I mean to Ms. Sweet. This party is all about her, of course.”
    “Oh, of course ,” Katie replied.
    “Why are you acting like you care, anyway?” Suzanne asked Katie. “Your class isn’t even going to be there.”
    “You’re right,” Katie replied angrily. She turned and stomped off. Suzanne was being really nasty. She didn’t want to be around her anymore.
    Besides, seeing all the water around her was making Katie thirsty. She looked around for a sign for a water fountain. There was one nearby, just around the corner.
    Katie knew she probably should ask Mr. G. for permission, but he was all caught up in helping Ms. Sweet. Anyway, she’d be back in a second.
    Katie walked around the corner. She was happy to see that no one else was waiting for the water fountain. In fact, there was no one else around. Katie bent down and took a long sip of water from the fountain.
    Just then, she felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of her neck.
    That was weird. There weren’t any open windows or fans blowing.

    The breeze got stronger, blowing hard and cold against Katie’s back—and nowhere else.
    Katie gulped. This was no ordinary wind. This was the magic wind!
    “Oh no! Not now!” Katie cried out. “Not during a field trip!”
    But there was no stopping the magic wind. It grew more and more powerful. The tornado whipped around wildly, blowing Katie’s bright red hair all around her face.
    The magic wind was so strong that Katie was sure it was going to blow her away.
    But then it stopped. Just like that.
    The magic wind was gone. And so was Katie Kazoo.
    She’d turned into someone else . . . switcheroo!
    But who?

Chapter 7
    The first thing Katie noticed was that she didn’t have to open her eyes to see who she was. Her eyes were already wide open. Of course, that was because she didn’t seem to have any eyelids.
    Katie tried to look down to see what clothes she was wearing. Maybe that would give her a clue to who she’d switcherooed into.
    But Katie couldn’t bend her neck. She didn’t even have a neck. So there was no way to look down at her fins.
    Wait a minute. Her fins ? People didn’t have fins.
    But fish do. And that was what Katie had become—a fish. And not just any fish. Right now, Katie was hiding in the tentacles of a sea anemone. That could mean only one thing. Katie had turned into a clown fish. The very same clown fish she had frightened before.
    Now it was Katie’s turn to be frightened. Really frightened!
    Katie wasn’t an especially good swimmer. She’d only made it to the intermediate group at camp. She wasn’t especially good at holding her breath, either. And that was something you had to do if you were under water.
    Well, actually, if you were a fish you didn’t have to hold your breath at all. Katie had learned that fish could breathe under water. And they were naturally good swimmers. Which meant Katie the clown fish was going to be fine.
    Just then, another orange-and-white clown fish swam in front of Katie. It was happily darting back and forth between the sea plants that lined the aquarium. In and out it swam, zigzagging happily through the water.

    That sure looked like fun!
    Katie moved her tail and fins quickly and swam up beside the other clown fish. Now there were two beautiful orange-and-white fish zipping through the water.
    Before long, several clown fish joined in their game. They zoomed through the plants, one after another, as if they were playing a game of wild underwater tag!
    As the water bubbled, Katie let out a little fish giggle. The fish in her school weren’t all that different from the kids in her real school. They loved to play. The only good thing about a fish school was they could play all day. At Katie’s school . . .
    School! Katie stopped swimming. She’d just remembered that all her friends were outside the tank. Katie
