Freaky Friday is a comedic children's novel written by Mary Rodgers, first published by Harper & Row in 1972. It has been adapted for several films, namely by Disney, and these include 1976, 1995, 2003 and 2018.
The story features a day in the life of 13-year-old Annabel Andrews and her mother, who spend the day in each other's bodies. It may be considered a modern retelling of Vice Versa: A Lesson to Fathers, an 1882 novel by F. Anstey in which the protagonists are a father and son.
