It all started one horrible day back in third grade. On that day, Katie had lost the football game for her team. Then she’d splashed mud all over her favorite jeans. After that, George had made fun of her and called her a mud monster. But the worst part of the day came when Katie had let out a loud burp—right in front of the whole class. It had been so embarrassing! That night, Katie had made a wish to be anyone but herself. There must have been a shooting star overhead when she made the wish, because the very next day the magic wind came. The magic wind was a really powerful tornado that blew only around Katie. It was so strong, it could blow her right out of her body ... and into someone else’s! The first time the magic wind blew, it turned Katie into Speedy, the hamster in her third-grade class. Katie spent the whole morning going round and round on a hamster wheel and chewing on Speedy’s wooden chew sticks. They didn’t taste very good at all. The magic wind came back again and again after that.
