JACQUELINE HYDE

Getting good grades, behaving well, and being a social outcast--these come naturally to Jacqueline Hyde. However, when she sniffs from a vial of liquid in her grandmother's attic, she's transformed into the malicious and mean-spirited Jackie. Now Jacqueline finds it harder and harder to suppress the uninhibited and surprisingly popular Jackie, whose feats keep getting Jacqueline into more and more trouble. Kate Byers is a fun and enthusiastic reader with a crisp English accent and a good range of male voices. She also does well depicting the emotions of various characters. However, as the voices of Jacqueline and Jackie in this first-person narrative, she sounds a bit too old for a middle school student. L.E. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
