Doggone It! — Nancy Krulik

Katie is an ordinary third-grader -- except for one very extraordinary problem! She accidentally wished on a shooting star to be anyone but herself. But what Katie soon learns is that wishes really do come true -- and in the strangest ways...

When Katie's teacher, Mrs. Derkman, moves in next door, Katie can't believe her bad luck! Mrs. Derkman hates dogs, and she wants the dogs on their street to be kept on leashes at all times! When the magic wind blows and turns Katie into her own dog, Pepper, will Katie convince her teacher that dogs are not all bad?
