Somebody else’s summer by Jean Little

This adventurous story is funny, exciting, and enticing.

But they are soon able to forget their differences and tell each other about their summer. Alex is going to a horse farm; she is terrified of the creatures! Sam is going to a used bookshop; she dreads having to read books all day. Soon they hatch a plan to switch places. After all, the people they are staying with have never met them.
