(3) 4-6 Wealthy Tad Spencer switches bodies with transient carnival kid Bob Snarby and becomes embroiled in Oliver Twist-like adventures. Eventually, Tad (as Bob) uncovers an evil plot involving his own parents experimenting on children while manufacturing beauty products. Told entirely from Tad's perspective, Horowitz's dramatic take on a Freaky Friday-ish theme is enjoyably suspenseful.
