Chapter One



Jill sat alone in her room, crying.

Everything seemed terrible.

She had decided she was the saddest, dumbest, ugliest girl in town. The only reason she had any friends was because they pitied her.

Why couldn't her life just change? She wanted it to change just as quickly as that Ч as quickly as she could snap her fingers.

Why couldn't she become someone else? Someone smart and funny and pretty, like her best friend, Molly?

Molly had everything. Sure, Jill was glad for Molly's great luck. But she envied her, too.

Molly had two wonderful parents, both of whom were good-looking and nice. Jill's parents were divorced, and sometimes her mother was nasty to her.

Molly already knew what she wanted to be when she grew up Ч a newspaper reporter. But Jill had no idea if she had enough talent for any kind of work at all.

Molly had beautiful long, black hair. She had a pretty, slim face, too.

But Jill choked in disgust every time she looked in the mirror. She had awful orange hair and freckles on her face and arms. Her face was way too fat.

And she wore horrible black glasses her mother had bought for her.

There was nothing she could do except cry Ч and wish as hard as she could that she was someone else.

How happy life would be, she thought, if she didn't have to be the same dumb old Jill all the time.

After a while, she blew her nose and dried her tears. Then she sat on the edge of her bed and closed her eyes.

Who would she most like to become, she wondered.

A famous movie star? Think how glamorous every day would be!

Maybe a famous scientist. Discovering cures for diseases would be so interesting and rewarding, and people would be so grateful to her.

What about a book writer? Imagine how much fun it would be to invent thrilling stories!

But no. Jill decided that, if she could pick anyone in the world to turn into, it would be none of those. She wouldn't choose to be a scientist or a movie star or a writer.

The person she would choose to become would be Molly.

Molly was still a kid, with her whole life ahead of her. And what a life it would be, Jill thought.

It would be filled with cute boyfriends and family celebrations. She'd see exciting events as a newspaper reporter, and maybe meet famous people or travel to foreign countries.

Jill closed her eyes even tighter. So tight they almost hurt.
