Jill is an average teenage girl, with the average teenage girl problem of not having a date to prom. Jack is an average teenage boy, with the average teenage boy problem of not having enough contact with the opposite sex. That is, until his four days are up.

In this Cinderella/Werewolf/Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde fable for the 21st century, Jill’s life is turned upside down when, after her thirteenth birthday, she realizes that she has a unique disease that turns her into a boy for four days a month. But the real problems start when Jill’s boy-self develops his own personality and tastes, including an attraction to Jill’s best friend!
