Katie Carew sees Christmas from several points of view when she suddenly changes places with her neighbor, a department store gift-wrapper, and one of Santa's elves.

Best friends Katie and Suzanne are both nominated for mayor of the fourth grade, and Suzanne wants to win so much that she starts spreading mean rumors, while Katie gets an inside look at the Cherrydale mayoral race.

Katie's vacation aboard a cruise ship with on-deck miniature golf, a chance to swim with dolphins, and her best friend Suzanne along, sounds wonderful, but the magic wind throws everything off-course when it turns her first into a dolphin and then into a renowned chocolate chef.

In two stories, a magic wind changes Katie Carew into Olympic skating star Kerry Gaffigan, and then into Kerry's boyfriend, a famous snowboarder who is in town to film a commercial.

Katie is very excited about her family's trip to London, Paris, Madrid, and Venice, but when the magic wind strikes not once, but four times, Katie's European vacation is turned upside down.

Just before Halloween, the magic wind helps fourth-grader Katie see the truth about a "witch" who lives in a supposedly haunted house.

As long-awaited fourth grade starts, Katie is overwhelmed when the magic wind causes her to switch twice--first into a new classmate and then into Mr. Starkey, the school band leader.

Joyce Kilmer Middle School is having a fundraising carnival and the girls have a bet and the loser wears pajamas to school.

During a class field trip to a Pilgrim village recreation, Katie finds herself replacing an actor playing a Pilgrim and, later, when her family goes to New York City, she becomes a clown in the Thanksgiving Day parade.
