(There's also an expensive remote-controlled toy that he's been coveting.) But no matter what he tries—whether it's working at his mother's craft shop, opening a lemonade stand, or setting up a backyard circus for neighborhood kids—the magic burps erupt at exactly the wrong times and wreak...

What's...

Becky is the new girl in class 3A, and she's a great big copycat! She's trying to be just like Katie's best friend Suzanne.

Will Suzanne change her mind about the new girl? Will Katie turn back into herself without causing too much trouble?

Katie and Suzanne are so excited-they won tickets to see their favorite rock group, the Bayside Boys, at the Cherrydale Arena! And not only do they get to see the show, but they get to attend the dress rehearsal and go backstage to hang out with the group!

Still, Katie convinces everyone to go to the horse show where Becky wins a medal in the first event, showmanship. The event looks pretty easy. However, Katie gets to see what it's like from the horse's perspective when suddenly she's switcherooed...
