Summaries

Sworn enemies find themselves in each other's bodies, and use this to ruin each other's lives.

The next door neighbors Nell Bedworth and Woody Deane have opposite behaviors and hate each other: the virgin geek Nell is polite, sensitive and well-prepared to go to Yale, while Woody is rude and his greatest expectation is to join a mediocre university due to his abilities playing football. When Nell and Woody are assigned to visit a museum together, they argue in front of a statue of an Aztec god. During the night, their souls swap bodies, bringing difficult situations to them. They first try to damage each other's reputation in high school, but soon they discover that their dream of joining college can only happen with mutual respect and support.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

At first they sabotage each-other's life, then learn to look at it more sympathetically and try to help out mutually to save their dreams, in the process growing closely together.—KGF Vissers

Woody and Nell are two teens who go to the same school and are neighbors who don't like each other. Woody is a jock who thinks his ability to play football is his way to a scholarship so that he doesn't have to work with his father. And Nell is shy and intellectual who likes poetry, and also hopes to get into a college that has a good program for poets. They can't help run into each other and put each other down. When they go to a museum for school, they come across a statue and when they read the inscription, they switch bodies. So they're both worried that they'll lose their chance at going to the college they want and if they'll go back to their own bodies.[email protected]
