In this heartwarming and hilarious reimagining of The Strange Case of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a secret potion accidentally turns
eager-to-please eighth grader Jaclyn into Jackie, a goblin-like monster
who'll do anything to win at everything she does--no matter how much
chaos she creates along the way.
Jaclyn Hyde is almost perfect. Whether she's baking cookies for her
classmates, building a replica Mt. Vesuvius for the science fair, or
practicing her lines for Fog Island: The Musical, she almost never
makes mistakes. When she discovers the last batch of perfection potion
in an abandoned laboratory, Jaclyn decides that being almost perfect
isn't perfect enough anymore.
But Jaclyn quickly discovers that the potion turns her into Jackie, a
goblin-like monster who'll do anything to make sure Jaclyn comes out on
top. Suddenly, she's wreaking havoc on the school play, stealing someone
else's brownies to pass off as her own, and that's just the beginning.
If Jaclyn wants to save her school, her friends, and herself from her
perfectly horrifying alter-ego, she's going to have to screw up her
courage and risk it all--even if that means admitting that she never was
as perfect as she seemed.
