Summary

The first YA novel from the best-selling author of Queenie.

When Empress starts at Aniya's school, they're not exactly best friends. But, when the two teenage girls accidentally cast a spell on their 16th birthday and end up switching bodies, they quickly learn that friendship is the most important magic of all.

South London's answer to Freaky Friday, Empress & Aniya is a moving portrayal of the importance of real friendship and the ups and downs of being a teenager.

Great Humour

I really enjoyed this audio, but wished it was longer, it was too short. It made me laugh out loud in places.
