->''I wish I could be anyone but me!''
-->--The back of the book

A ChildrensLiterature book series by Nancy Krulik about Katie Carew, a third (later fourth) grade girl who [[FreakyFridayFlip switches bodies with her friends and family]] as a result of [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor a wish on a shooting star]].

----
!!This series provides examples of:
* {{Animorphism}}: The magic wind occasionally turns Katie into other animals. Katie has been a hamster, a cocker spaniel, a black cat, a raccoon, a clownfish, a snake, a horse, a bat, a reindeer, a dolphin, and a goat.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Katie regrets her wish of being "anyone but herself" very, ''very'' quickly.
* ChristmasEpisode: ''A Katie Kazoo Christmas'' and ''Holly's Jolly Christmas'' both feature multiple stories revolving around the Christmas season.
%%* CoolTeacher: Mr. Guthrie.
%%* DrillSergeantNasty: Genie in the camping book.
* EverytownAmerica: Cherrydale. The state is unknown; the only real clue is that it is somewhere in the USA. It also fits most of the description of this trope; there is a single elementary school named after the town, most of the residents are friendly except for one or two, it is a CloseKnitCommunity and NothingExcitingEverHappensHere, the town’s history is very simple, and the characters are routinely involved in city affairs. Celebrity guests also visit the town with an alarming frequency.
* FreakyFridayFlip: The premise of the each book is Katie transforming into a different person and what happens as a result.
* GenderBender: The Magic Wind turns Katie into boys, too. Was most prominent in ''Girls Don't Have Cooties'' due to it being her first one.
* GranolaGirl: In ''Free the Worms!'' Katie refused to feed the class snake worms because of her vegetarian morals.
* HalloweenEpisode: ''Witch Switch'' takes place during the Halloween Parade.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Katie cannot control when the Magic Wind comes, who it will turn her into, or when she'll switch back.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: George. Goes from complete jerk to comedian - after five minutes of talk with Katie.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Suzanne can be arrogant, but her and Katie are still best friends.
* TheMall: Where everyone hangs out. EVERYONE. Usually at the candy shop or pizza place.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: When Katie undergoes an {{Animorphism}}, she sometimes gives into her animalistic urges. [[DownplayedTrope This trope is usually absent whenever she turns into another human though.]]
* NewTransferStudent: Becky is a new student to class 3A, and tries copying Suzanne in an attempt to fit in.
* NiceGirl: Katie is kind to every person and animal she meets.
* OrphanedSeries: More than likely, there hasn't been a new book since 2013.
* PlotDrivingSecret: Katie keeps her switcheroos a secret, so most of her problems are caused by her trying to pretend to be her inhabitant and failing at it.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Katie has this combination along with the ability to switch bodies.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Jeremy is a great student who also wears glasses.
%%* SternTeacher: Mrs. Derkman.
* StrictlyFormula: The plot of pretty much every book is “Katie encounters a problem which directly involves a certain person (or sometimes animal). She then turns into said person/animal, messes things up, turns back, and then solves the original problem based off the experiences she gained from that screwup."
* SummerCampy: This trope gets put into context of a science camp (the type of which most schools send the kids off to in March one year in any grade from third to eighth), with Genie, a female DrillSergeantNasty, as the instructor. The only deviation is that the other counselors are genuinely nice, as if to make up for Genie’s meanness.
%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Kevin likes tomatoes.
* AWizardDidIt: Absolutely no explanation is ever given as to what the Magic Wind truly is or where it comes from. It is literally no deeper than being a misguided gift from a shooting star.
