I read 'Day 3722' on the bus and found the blurb 'genius concept, brilliantly written (Ellen Hopkins)' justified. The narrator on this day is in the body of a ten year old on her birthday, a member of a loving family. It is a school day but her fifth grade teacher has a paper 'queen for a day' crown prepared for her, there are cupcakes, and even her classmates who don't like her very much are nice to her. The narrator is very careful not to do wrong to her manner of livng on this one day he(?) will inhabit her body, but he(?) is clueless as to what she does when she goes to her room after arriving home after school.
Her often strict three-year-older sister arrives and contrives to take her swimming at the nearby home of the formidable Widow Judge.
The family meal that evening is special and she blows out another candle to make a wish. On Saturday she is having her birthday party with her friends.
