Long summary
12-year old makeup and fashion whiz kid, Anne, has her world turned upside down, when she magically swaps bodies with her school’s star footballer, Christ. It’s 2 weeks away from the school play and the state team football tryouts. Anne and Christ search high and low for a solution. But as their search continues, the two begin to learn about each other’s world and Anne begins to love being a boy. Will Anne remain a boy?

Interestingly, most dictionaries spell "whiz kid" as two words while some spell it as a hyphenated word, "whiz-kid".

Only Macmillan Dictionary spells it as one word.

Cambridge Dictionary spells it as "whizz-kid".
