One Pill Makes You Smaller: A Novel
(accelerated growth) Lisa Dierbeck, 2003. Alice Duncan feels monstrously tall for her age. At 11 years she stands 5'7" and is fully developed, and beautiful too. In her own opinion, she's a freak: "a kid's head grafted on a woman's body." She looks so much like a grown woman, she's hit on by her classmates and their fathers. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, the novel portrays a young girl's unwilling tumble toward adulthood. Most of the time the author makes her seem like a 22-year old Playboy playmate or a Barbie doll in terms of her physique. Page 6: "... alarming rapid-growth spurts, like the Grow-Me Barbie doll whose torso lengthened when Alice pulled her hair in one direction and her legs in the other. Rabbit knew that despite Alice's unusual height, she was 11. He'd even attended her 11th-birthday party."

At first I hadn't noticed, because she had maintained her excellent proportions as she grew, but now she was growing huge, and I could not stop her rapid expansion.

Orphans of Chaos
- (accelerated age form ability) John C. Wright.
"You obviously wanted to be older, bigger, stronger when you were still a very young child. Many young children have this wish. Most do not have the power to make their wishes come true. You had the body of a five- or six-year-old when you were three ... when Miss Fair began to develop her ah... rather generous signs of puberty, you also wanted to be older, and quickly, like most girls. Most girls, however, are not shape-changers. Despite our efforts, your powers are still influenced by your subconscious desires. In a few months, you had the body and glandular reactions of a fully mature woman of twenty or so; and, like all girls your age, you wanted to look like a fashion model ... the perfect wasp-waisted hourglass figure..."

Orphans of Chaos
(age disguised) John C. Wright. In "Young persons", as the author and others have noted, the ages of the students are in question. The Headmaster insists to the "girl" narrating the book that she is 14 years old, but has made herself look older with her powers. At other times, the book suggests she is 16...or 20...or perhaps ageless. Still, it is precisely the implied and in-practice adolescence of the characters that spices up "virgin" "teenage" Amelia's thoughts about sex running through the book.

(male AR) cover

Ouroh Trilogy, The
- (AP) Thomas D. Bryson, 2012.
When the kids wake in the morning they have all become several years older, and this causes some problems:
- "Trudy woke with a struggle ...she swung her legs over the edge of her bed in the comfort of familiar squeaky bedsprings. She sat upright with a well-practiced groan.
She stretched her arms only to find a tender pain on her chest. She was stunned when she made eye contact with the shadowy reason for the tenderness.
"Whoa... I got bosoms!"
Trudy had petite breasts beneath her suddenly way too snug nightshirt. After a minute she laid aside the mystery in her need to get dressed... She stood slack-jawed before her dresser mirror. Her nightlight revealed that the nightshirt was shortened to halfway up her thighs. It had touched her knees the last time she remembered putting it on. She hadn't just grown out, she grew up as well. A look of disbelief stared back at her... She had an insanely tangled head of hair to add to the mystery. "That will comb out to at least a couple of feet," Trudy mumbled to herself in shock.
"Mom is going to have to explain this one," she thought. She quietly rummaged through her closet and dresser to find something that fit. Nothing was close enough to merit an attempt.
Trudy snuck down the stairs so as not to prematurely wake the others. She thought to find something suitable in the laundry room... She shut the door before pulling on the light cord. In the too-be-folded basket she found one of her mother's thin cotton nightgowns. She peeled her nightshirt off with a couple of mumbled curses at it and her hair.
The clock on the kitchen wall and her nose determined that it was much later than she initially thought. Coffee was already made.
At the kitchen door, Trudy paused to yank the ruler of its hook. Backing into the door-jam, she placed the ruler on top of her head. Her hair fought her subconsciously engrained maneuver of holding her hair down to get a good reading. She huffed in a fluster to finger-part the mass of hair. She ducked and spun around to see the results. Her mouth dropped as she had gained over nine inches in height above her previous pencil mark. In a shock she stumbled outside...
"I'd put on a robe before the boys get up if I was you." ...the nightgown was too diaphanous to be worn publicly.
Visions of the embarrassment of being seen in an uncompromising...
"...I have hairs on my chest," Trevor yelled from behind the upstairs bathroom door. "Seven of 'em!" He reached for his dad's shaving cream and razor... "We get to shave!" He was enthralled with his caveman appearance that projected the essence of his manhood.
Trudy shrieked as she ran down the hallway, barely making it into her room...
"Yeah, I got hairs all over..." He had barely registered the blur that darted into the girl's room. Whatever the situation was with the girls, it was not as important as shaving. "Man, these swim trunks things sure are snug!"
Trudy slammed the door behind her. Her relief was short-lived as Imagination was standing before her dresser mirror in her birthday suit.
Hopefully Imagination had stayed in the bedroom while the boys were up and about.
..."With a little sun," Trudy said... "Okay, a lot of sun"... She wasn't going through the pain of having to explain the shade of baby pink that Imagination now appeared... examining her long locks of baby soft dark brown hair... Her hair's silkiness... felt like it would blow away with a slight breeze. "It's so soft!" She scarcely registered Trudy draping a light bed throw over her shoulders.
"What happened to us?" Trudy asked.
"Tantantra's time shift," Imagination answered in an inattentive tone. "We're older," she said, as if the matter of fact should be obvious.
"Duh, like about three or four years or so," Trudy snapped at the intrusion of her natural growth. "I gotta be pushing fifteen or sixteen."
Trudy peeled off her mother's nightgown, determined to get dressed. Her jeans were murderously tight and simply not making it past her bottom. Her hair was driving her nuts as it got tangled in everything. This simply wasn't going to do. Even lying flat on her back she couldn't get a skirt's button within a couple hand-widths of the buttonholes. Blue jeans were simply out of the "what to wear" question. With Imagination's help, Trudy peeled the skirt back off and grimaced as her panties split in the rear. She heard her mother coming up the stairs as she fumed.
Tantantra saved the children by throwing bags of store-bought clothing into their rooms...
The new clothes confirmed Imagination's explanation of Trudy's mother imposing a time shift. The girls picked through the clothes and dressed quickly.
Trudy howled as her hair caught in the top button of her new blouse. "Enough!" she shouted. She stood before the mirror...
"Sit," Mother said before Trudy could burst with a zillion questions. "First lets do something with that hair."
It was like your hair being blown out by a hand drier. When it settled into place, Trudy had a short - but cute - hairstyle.
Trudy couldn't believe her eyes. Her brother had to be almost six feet tall, and Ideas was but a hand-width shorter. Her brother sported a small piece of red blotched tissue paper under his chin. The thought of his shaving brought to mind that she was going to have to do something about the hair under her arms and on her legs."

- Page 111: "...the Dummy believe I'll call you Humpy!" cried Dorothy, clapping her hands softly. "Oooh! Ouch! What's that?" In sudden terror Dorothy clutched at her left shoe. "I don't care what you call me, but I'd call you very odd!" said the dummy in alarm. "You've grown at least a foot since I've been looking at you. People in this country are supposed to stay the same size," he muttered, edging away uneasily. But Dorothy scarcely heard him. There was a frightful pain in her heart and both shoes pinched so terribly that she screamed aloud. At the same instant ... "Are you going to burst?" asked the dummy anxiously. "Oh! Oh! I'm afraid so," gasped the little..."
112: "...The girl, clutching herself about the waist. At each word she shot up another inch, for Dorothy, who had lived in the Fairy Land for many years, was suddenly growing up. In Oz, no one ever grows up, but in America Dorothy would be quite a young lady by this time and, removed from the magical influences of that magical land, she was growing all at once and finding it, as most of the rest of us do, an exceedingly uncomfortable business. Her screams as she grew taller and taller were so piteous that Humpy fell off the log.
"Help! Help! Help!" wailed the dummy, beating his flimsy arms up and down among the leaves. "Oh! Oh!" panted Dorothy desperately. "I can't stand this another minute. I wish I were back. I wish I were back!" Next moment there was not a sound in the ravine, nor a person, nor even a dummy. Only a startled squirrel ran up and down the log, chattering with fright and annoyance. Certainly he had seen two people on that log. Well, where were they now? He frisked his tail, he wiggled his..."
114: "...size this minute and another size the next is all wrong. I wonder where she is now!" - "Here I am," called" - "...we got here?" - "Little again!" groaned the dummy, just lifting his head long enough to look at her, and then letting it drop back among the leaves. "Little again!" - "Oh, am I?" Dorothy jumped up in great excitement and began measuring herself as best she could. Her stockings were stretched and torn, her dress was ripped in several seams and minus all of its buttons. But outside of this she was her old, or rather her young, sweet self again. "Why we must be back in Oz," - ... or are you going to shoot up into a young lady again? Don't shoot," begged the dummy quickly. "It makes me nervous!" - "Well, I don't know," said Dorothy doubt-fully. To tell the truth the little girl had not had time to think at all, nor did she quite realize that she was one age in Oz and another age in America. "I'll have to ask the Wizard about..." Oz books3
133: "...mid-stream by this time. "Good-bye!" called Dorothy and Humpy, picking himself up clumsily, waved his crown. "Ah, still the same size I see," smiled Humpy, looking amiably at Dorothy. "Any more adventures coming?" "Well, I liked that one," chuckled Dorothy, pulling..."

The little girl nodded and Tora, ruffling up his silver locks and looking first at Dorothy and then at Humpy, murmured over and over: "Well, I can hardly believe my ears, I can hardly believe my ears!" Dorothy could not help thinking that the tailor's ears were hard for anyone to..."

She had put her arms around his neck and fallen asleep that way...
Once, when he was 14...Lyudmila had crawled under the covers again, her dress already too short to be decent when faced with such activity, and put her arms around him, her mouth so close to his ear that afterward he would have to hop up and down like a swimmer to get the water out.

Until today, it had still been her lingering hope, that if she ignored the changes in her body, they would someday go away. But nature had already prolonged her childhood well past the norm, and now seemed bent on recouping lost time by inflicting womanly attributes on her with a vengeance. At fourteen, when most of the young girls in the valley were budding and filling out and casting sheep's eyes at the young bucks, Whitney had still had the shape of a young lad: broadening shoulders, long, gangly legs, slim hips, and a flat chest. Then at the ripe old age of fifteen, she began to "bust out all over", as she had dismally put it. "Blooming," her aunt Kate called it.
...it made her shirt fronts bulge and her breeches bind...
She had breasts, now, healthy sized ones, too, she'd learned from surreptitious comparisons. Her waist had suddenly begun to shrink, and her hips rounded and mounded alarmingly. Her bottom rocked and swayed annoyingly when she stretched out to cover ground. It was all faintly embarrassing, having her body up and change on her like that."

He reached out his hand, and I knew what was coming next.

Power of Six, The
- (potentially excellent AP/AR character)
2011, Pittacus Lore, "Lorien Legacies" sequel to "I Am Number Four"
A movie version may be made.
- Surprisingly, "Number Ten" Ella surfaces as the 10th Elder, a Loric with the ability to change between the ages she has already lived through, also gaining the lifespan that comes with each age. The only other Aeternus has been Lorien's former last elder, Loridas.
Between 11 and 12 years of age, Ella already displays signs of enhancement in being unusually agile, quick and athletic, while playing a perfect, rather upbeat little girl who seems to have lost everything. She oftentimes disappears during the day, moving "like a ghost" making no sound at all.
Ella is one of the kindest and most innocent characters. She is very loyal, always completing any task. While defending Marina from some convent girls she suffered near-fatal wounds. Ella is shown to be a very good actor, with an uncanny ability to deceive others.

Power of Six, The
- (slight age changing ability glimpse)
...a girl's head sticks out. I gasp. Auburn hair, curious brown eyes, small features. She's older by years, but there's no mistaking that it's her.
"Ella?" I ask.
She looks eleven years old, maybe twelve. Her face, which brightens at the sight of mine, is more slender now.
"Hi, Marina," she says in a voice I don't recognize.
"I don't understand," I say, still staring at the older version of Ella ... shaking my head, unable to replace the younger version I've come to know with this older one.
"Show her, Ella."
While standing in front of me, Ella begins to change. Her arms shorten and her shoulders narrow; she loses twenty centimeters of height, and her weight drops significantly. The shrinking of her face shocks me the most, and quickly she looks like the tiny girl I've come to love.
"She's an Aeternus," Crayton says. "She's able to move back and forth between different ages."
"Ella's eleven years old," he says. "She came with me on a second ship from Lorien. She was just a baby, only hours old. Loridas, the last remaining Elder, sacrificed himself so that Ella could assume his role and grow into his powers."
Ella slips her hand into mine as she's done so many times before; but it feels different now. I glance over and see that she's returned to the older, taller version of herself. Recognizing my discomfort, Ella shrinks back down, the four years quickly melting away until she's seven again.
"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth, Marina," she says in her soft voice.
"Changing his age is how Loridas was able to live as long as he did. Each time he grew old, he made himself young again, and assumed the vitality that comes with it."
Ella grabs hold of my hand, back to her eleven-year-old self. Crayton pulls the slide on the gun, and I hear a bullet clicking into place.
"She was born able to change ages, but she's young and hasn't developed any Legacies yet."
"Don't worry, Marina. I'm fast," she says, smiling. I can tell she's no stranger to firearms.
Ella tenses in my arms as the road ends ... and Ella's accelerated pace matches my own.
"The tree, Ella! Get inside!" I yell. She tries to make herself as compact as she can, shrinking down to a younger age. I close the trunk up around her, leaving just enough room so she can see.
If I'm going to die, then I need to release Ella first. I cautiously lift my hands and envision the trunk separating.
She spills out of the trunk and falls into my arms.
Ella steps forward and shrinks to her seven-year-old body. She extends her small hand towards Six, who has her mouth open, speechless.
Crayton starts to explain Ella and the second ship to Six.

(AP, also male AP) Paul Park, 2005, 2006
Teenaged Miranda, wearing her black jeans, and her otherworldly friends Peter Gross and Andromeda are transported across the dimensions to the world of their birth: uncivilized North America. Buried memories begin to flood back into their minds, and strange changes assail their bodies. With the removal of spells, they age 5 years instantly, becoming adults. The 3 adult teens strive to master a world of deceits and dark magics. Many things remain unspoken.
- Roumania:
97: Now Peter was staring at her with a puzzled expression, as if he were noticing her for the first time that morning. "What happened to you?" he said. "What's wrong with your face?"
She put her hand up to her nose as if to brush away some smut.
What was he talking about? Why did he say that?
"Look at yourself," he said. "You're different."
Which maybe didn't sound so bad. She didn't feel any different.
99: If the trees had grown up over - what was it called - the fairway...? Maybe they had gone into the future.
101: She was older than he'd expected, older than the photographs the baroness had shown him: not a child at all, really - a young woman with the pale, narrow face and dark eyebrows of her father's family, and she looked older than the boy...
He tightened the focus, held him in the circle of his glasses - no, a chance resemblance to an older man.
119: "Go on," Miranda said.
What was different about her? Her hair was the same length, kept in place behind her ears. Her dark eyebrows were the same, and her blue eyes. She was more solid, somehow. Had she put on weight? Was she taller?
...Her skin looked rougher, darker, older.
321: "I dreamt I was twenty years old," she told him.
He was surprised to see her at the bottom of an odd, small dell, taking her clothes off in the snow.
Then she took off the old gypsy's bulky coat, and lifted her shirt up so her skin was bare. She was touching and pressing at her breasts.
She was looking at her hands, and she undid the front of her pants and turned away from him completely, and he could see the arch of her back as she leaned to examine herself, as he imagined.
- Tourmaline:
46: She sat down and studied her face again in the dark glass. The candle was behind her. But even in the uncertain light she could tell. In Williamstown she'd been fifteen years old.
She turned her face, lifted her chin, put her fingers to her upper lip. What was the difference? Peter had seen it right away. "What's wrong with your face?" he'd said on that first morning in the woods. Well, what was wrong with it? Something lost and gained. She did look older now. Peter had said so and it was true.
Was it coarseness, a thickening? Everywhere and nowhere - rougher skin, a darkness around her eyes? Or else she'd put on weight. Maybe it was to avoid perceiving these things that she'd been thinking so insistently about her friends.
She touched her cheeks and forehead, touched her breasts.
...here in this room when she was a child, now she remembered wanting to grow older ... she had looked into this same mirror, desperate to grow older so the Lieutenant Prochenko might look at her. And sometimes in Williamstown for other reasons...
57: The night before, she'd slept in her dirty clothes and her damp underwear. The wool shirt was Blind Rodica's, but the jeans she'd worn all the way from Massachusetts. Her bra was too tight. Her underpants were stiff and gray and streaked with blood.
58: But she wanted new clothes ... The clothes in her own room were for a seven-year-old girl.
When she was younger, she had always tried to avoid looking at her own body. She was self-conscious about it and had not kept a full-length mirror in her room.
...Miranda had tended to slip into her clothes without looking, especially as she'd started to mature.
59: ...Stanley had walked in on her while she was staring glumly at her face and hair.
Even now, with no one around, she found it hard to strip down to nothing and examine herself. She found it hard to strip out of the hateful clothes, the chafing underwear, stiff with salt from the previous day. And even when it was all off, she found herself looking at different parts in isolation. Close to the surface of the miror, she examined her elbow, the seawater rash along the crease of her thigh.
Maybe she couldn't remember anymore, but there was no individual part of her that seemed different when she looked at it alone. And maybe it wasn't just modesty that had made her hesitant, but a premonition. When finally, with a lump in her throat, she held up the candle and stepped away from the glass, and stared at her face and head and body all together, her first impression was she scarcely recognized herself. Something given, something stripped away ... there she was after all, her pale skin and narrow nose, her ears that stuck out, and her nice, wide forehead ... her thin lips, her long neck, and then the rest, and you might even say there was an improvement.
Look at her - her childhood was gone.
How many people could recall more than just a couple of things from when they were five or six or seven? So what difference did it make?
Now, standing nude before the mirror, the thought of Peter filled her with embarrassment; she looked for a small moment more, and then she put the candle down.
...she slipped on some men's clothes that she had found in a back bedroom ... everything was much more comfortable...
99: Peter found himself thinking one more time about the tunnel to the future. "A little older," he murmured, part of a longer phrase ... he'd used to say in front of the mirror ... "I would like to be a little older," ... something he'd always felt in school, where gym class had been a nightmare...
Miranda had left him behind. In high school she'd been a couple of years younger, which had felt good to him. But as soon as they'd arrived here he had seen the change in her. Now he wanted to catch up.
108: "Andromeda?" he asked. Almost he didn't recognize her, although she'd scarcely changed out of the girl he'd known at school - years before, it suddenly seemed.
...in a moment he looked back, fascinated (or so he told himself) by how she'd aged: a woman, he supposed. Five years. was this what getting older meant, this sudden vertigo, this aching in his head?

The development of Keladry (Kel) of Mindelan:
At the age of ten the girl was already five feet tall and still growing.
"I'm five feet three inches tall now," she said proudly . Her nose was small and delicate, her skin tan and dusted with freckles. She was big for a girl of eleven, five feet three in chest all and solidly built.
Flabbergasted, Kel stared at the front of her nightgown. Sure enough, there were two slight bulges in the proper area for such things. When had this happened? They weren't large enough to be visible under her loose clothes, but how could she have missed them when she bathed?
As [Lalasa] slid [the measuring cord] around Kel with brisk efficiency, Kel was startled to see they were exactly the same height. She had grown an inch in three months.
She had added almost two more inches since Mid winter...
Kel was five feet seven in her stocking feet at the age of twelve and a half.
The fourteen-year-old girl was big for her age, five feet nine inches tall, and dressed informally in breeches and shirt.
She had gone from five feet one inch to nearly five feet ten inches in four years, growing so fast that she half-expected to hear her clothes straining.

when the man turned and ran out of the room John noticed ... that the stranger's coat had evidently been torn right down the back from the collar to the skirt!
p16:
A nice-looking, cheerful boy came running out...
p53:
What could Johnnie mean by "It's growing"? and then the thought of the moon slipped into his mind.
p64:
He lay back again sleepily on his pillow, watching the boy with half-closed eyes. Then it struck him how very quickly boys do grow - for there was no doubt about it, the boy's trousers seemed to be getting very short for him; so short did they look that John Lang wondered he had never noticed it before.
p65:
As he left John Lang, watching him still, thought he had not noticed before that the boy's head came so high as it now did against the door-frame.
"How fast boys do grow!" he thought, as he shook himself together and began to get up. The thought of Johnnie's height did not occupy him long.
p67:
JOHNNIE'S NEW CLOTHES
John was really angry now, and was insisting on an answer to his question, when there came a sudden noise of tearing and of ripping of cloth - as if someone's clothes were all coming to pieces with violence! What was happening? Why, simply that! The boy's clothes had all burst at the seams with violence and were coming to pieces, and were falling off him in strips, while the buttons were flying all over the place. One of them actually hit John Lang in the eye. It was most unpleasant.
"Tut, tut!" said Johnnie, "I'm afraid you will be annoyed!"
p68:
Annoyed?" cried John, mopping his injured eye - "annoyed!" The word seemed to him to be hardly strong enough.
"But," said the boy, "what are you going to do?"
"Do?" shouted John Lang- "do?" Again the word did not please him.
"Yes, do," said Johnnie. "I can't go about like this."
"No, indeed!" That was quite evident, but John Lang did not in the least know what he or anyone could "do" under such circumstances.
But Johnnie knew, and, indeed, had his plan quite ready. He must, he said, for the moment, wear a suit of John Lang's clothes, and they must then go down to the tailor's, that he might be measured for some new clothes of his own.
p69:
So John Lang and the great tall boy Johnnie set out cheerfully enough, ...
p71:
we must follow our two friends to the tailor's shop where Johnnie was to be measured for new clothes.
p83:
So here was more trouble! Johnnie again far too big for his clothes, washstand smashed, bed broken to pieces. John Lang began to feel quite anxious about money affairs. For not only were there new things to buy, but Johnnie 's appetite had increased with his size!
p90:
For a time he felt most thoroughly puzzled. Puzzled - and, compared to Johnnie, very small. For at each full moon Johnnie grew - taller, and taller ! and broader, and broader! But never for one moment did John Lang lose courage.
p99:
Johnnie's head appeared at the window and his huge hands reached up...

"A Question of Magic" - Serafina is living the normal life of a village girl, when she gets her first letter ever from a great aunt she's never heard of. Little does Serafina know, her aunt is actually a Baba Yaga, a magical witch who truthfully answers the first question. Serafina's life takes an amazing turn as she finds herself becoming the new Baba Yaga. Telling the future doesn't always mean knowing the right answers...
"She had felt her clothes tighten just as they had when she first became Baba Yaga ... Even simple questions made her age. If she went home, people were bound to ask her questions..."

Question of Magic, A
- (TF UC age forms AP) by E. D. Baker.
p44: ...an odd look and hurried on his way ... she'd taken only a few steps when she noticed that her feet hurt and her dress felt tight across her chest. Glancing down, she saw that the fabric of her bodice was pulled taut, and she wasn't able to take a really deep breath. She tried wriggling her toes, but her shoes had suddenly become painfully small. What was going on? Had something in the cottage made her grow overnight? But then why hadn't she noticed it sooner? She was running before, but now she doubted she could even walk very far with her shoes on. Serafina had taken off one of her shoes to examine it when she heard the sound of laughter ... "Hello!" the young man said when he saw her.
p45: ...once again she lost control of her body. Her arm raised itself and she pointed down the road. Words came pouring out of her mouth. "Mala Las is twelve miles in that direction ..." Serafina dropped her arm the moment she had control of her body again. When she tried to take a breath, she couldn't draw air into her lungs and she gasped instead. Her gown was so tight that she couldn't breathe. If she could have spoken, she would have asked the couple for help, but they hurried off so ...
p46: ... quickly that she didn't have the chance. Her fingers fumbled as she tried to loosen the strings on her bodice; she was seeing spots in front of her eyes before she could get the strings undone. When she finally was able to breathe again, she took in great gulps of air and sat down until she could stop shaking. Her feet were throbbing when she took off her shoes. Given how tight they had been on her feet, she doubted very much that she'd be able to get them back on. Twice now someone had spoken to her, and when she had been about to reply, she had lost control and told them things she hadn't known she'd known. Each time she had grown as well. Was she going to lose herself every time she talked to someone, or grow every time she answered a question?
p47: Barefoot and limping, Serafina turned around and headed back the way she had come ...
p48: Serafina's feet hurt. "Ow!" she cried, stepping on yet another stone. She wished she could put her shoes on again, but her feet had grown too big. She was examining the damage to her foot, when she heard a faint trill of laughter.
p54: Serafina sighed, but the bodice of her dress was still so tight that deep breaths were uncomfortable ... There were a lot of gowns in the trunk, but only a few fit her ... she started to take off her old clothes - until she noticed that the cat was watching her ... she found his gaze disconcerting, so she went into the corner ... and turned her back to the cat before slipping off her under-shift.
p58: When Serafina stood to close the door, her dress felt uncomfortably tight again and her hem was inches above her ankles. "I need a mirror," she murmured, and let her gaze travel around the room.
p59: ...the moment she caught sight of her reflection she couldn't look at anything else. She'd had the face and body of a girl when she came ... but now her cheeks were thinner and her hair was more lustrous. Glancing down, she saw that her body was as curvy and well-rounded as her older sisters'. Serafina's heart pounded in her chest and she began to breathe too fast. Although she looked older, her mind ...
p60: ... was still the same as it had been before. What was happening to her? Serafina was fighting off increasing panic when another voice called "Hello!"

Question of Magic, A
- (UC TF AP) E.D. Baker, 2013.
Had something in the cottage made her grow overnight? But then why hadn't she noticed it sooner? She was running before, but now she doubted she could even walk very far with her shoes on. Serafina had taken off one of her shoes to...
"Very well," Serafina said, and went rigid when she realized she'd said it in her Baba Yaga voice.
She had felt her clothes tighten just as they had when she first became Baba Yaga. There was no getting away from what had happened to her. Even simple questions made her age. If she went home, people were bound to ask her questions; they would just slip out, unintentionally. She would age then, surrounded by her family and friends. It would be impossible to hide what was happening to her unless she drank the tea every day...They didn't believe in magic, so how could they accept what had happened to her? It was likely that her parents would think that she had some awful aging disease and want to find her a cure...any doctor they called in would probably label her crazy...
And what about Alek? ...once he saw how she aged after answering a question, he wouldn't want to marry her anymore ...her footsteps slow and dragging ...It took her longer to return ...and her footsteps slowed even...
...quickly that she didn't have the chance. Her fingers fumbled as she tried to loosen the strings on her bodice; she was seeing spots in front of her eyes before she could get the strings undone. When she was finally able to breathe again, she took in great gulps of air and sat down until she could stop shaking. Her feet were throbbing when she took off her shoes. Given how tight they had been on her feet, she doubted very much that she'd be able to get them back on.
Twice now someone had spoken to her, and when she was about to reply she had lost control and told them things she didn't know she'd known. Each time she had grown as well. Was she going to lose herself every time she talked to someone, or grow every time she answered a question? What exactly had happened to her in that cottage?...
Serafina's feet hurt. She wished she could put her shoes on again, but her feet had grown too big.
It didn't take long for Baba Yaga to tire of answering questions, especially when she saw how doing so made her grow older and none of her own magic could make her any younger.
...the color returned. Suddenly she could see and hear better. She glanced down at her hands as the soft wrinkles and brown spots disappeared and the skin became taut. Her clothes fit differently; things that had been loose were now tight. She blushed when she glanced down and saw the changes and realized that her father and Dielle were watching her.
"Are you all right?"..."I'm better than all right! I feel wonderful!"

Quilting Lessons
- (UC scene, FF, coming of age) Janet Catherine Berlo
"Short, all of them short," I'd tell myself disdainfully. "They look like they are only twelve or thirteen."
...that is the essential longing at that age--to be older.
It was only in that eighth-grade classroom that I felt like Alice, who had sipped from the bottle marked "Drink Me" and grown till her head hit the ceiling and her arms stretched out the doors. There, I was constantly, shamefully, aware of how much space I took up. My legs poked out into the aisle from under my too-small desk. A good two inches of wrist jutted out of my ever-too-short sleeves. The waist of the jumper of my brown school uniform rode way too high on my long torso.
Why were the rest of them so short? And why did my height annoy them so much? "Don't they know that tall girls wear clothes better?...

Rebel Stone and the Ghost Whisperers
- (preteen rapid size increase, RN) - Walter Rouzer.
- p30: "Her husband Mitchell just recently disappeared too. I only see her daughter now-Marie. She's ten. Bellarouse bought her a handmade guillotine for her tenth birthday.
- p31: "If she doesn't get what she wants, it's like everything around her self-destructs. All that's left are broken pieces."
...the last time she didn't get her strawberry yogurt, she went, like, nuclear. Bellarouse's house was in ruins-broken windows, plates, doors-
- p39: It read, "Marie White, born December 2, 1999, died December 3, 1999, after supper for not eating her broccoli."
"I told you, Rebel, Marie is the psycho universe record holder."
- p278: Marie slowly got up from her chair and followed Bellarouse toward the door. ...she suddenly stopped and placed her hand up against her forehead, looking as if she was about to faint.
Marie's hands started swatting the air ... She swung wildly in every direction.
- p279: Rebel found himself face to face with the monster he had created. He felt like Dr. Jekyll creating a monstrous daughter of Mr. Hyde. Marie started to act like a saddle-busting bronco, twisting and turning. Her stomach bellowed in and out like an accordion. Bellarouse could no longer hold on to her daughter. Marie flung her arms madly about, uncontrollably striking Bellarouse across the face ... collapsed to the ground unconscious.
Marie's true inner self started to manifest in bodily form. Her terrific anger and selfishness fueled a sudden out-of-control burst of growth. She grew bigger and bigger with each passing second. She started to shoot up like a beanstalk, higher and higher toward the roof.
Rebel and Becky clung together, shook their heads in disbelief and fear, and pressed their backs against the tent wall.
Marie's head pressed against the roof. Rebel could hear all the ropes anchoring the tent start to rip away from the canvas. Rebel and Becky
- p280: wasted no time slipping underneath the tent wall, then sprinting away out across the open field.
Marie's feet sprawled out across the fairground grass. She rolled Bellarouse's unconscious body along the outer edge of her foot. As Marie's feet continued to grow at a fantastic rate, Bellarouse's body slid farther out, till she reached an embankment and rolled down a dirt slope, splashing into a slow-moving river ...
From the outer fringes of the fairgrounds, Rebel and Becky stared in awe, watching Marie mushroom up higher and higher at a fantastic rate of growth. They saw people on the grounds suddenly flee for their lives-some into the woods, others to their cars. They all sped back toward town, leaving clouds of dust behind them.
Inside the main circus tent, the ringmaster looked toward the ceiling as he introduced the men on the flying trapeze. Just as they started to perform, all the spectators looked straight up as the top of the tent suddenly lifted up into the air. Four trapeze artists were shaken from their roosts... Another trapeze performer... saw the bar he was about to swing to suddenly lift up into the sky... In utter horror he stared straight up, beholding a monstrous face looking down at him.
The members of the audience stopped clapping as fear gripped them. Unbelieving, they exchanged glances of horror. Children were silent as they squinted up, wondering what happened to the tent.
As everyone looked up, they beheld a horrible figure-a monster in any childhood dream. Their eyes rolled in terror. Marie cast shadows of darkness across the landscape. Little ones started wailing in their
- p281: mothers' bosoms. People looked back under the shadow of Marie's monstrous form as it reached toward the clouds above. The sounds of screaming and crying filled the area. The crowd began to run, like water from a busted dam, gushing out across the landscape. The crowd fled for their lives, tripping, pushing to get across the field and out of the reach of Marie's crushing feet.
Like a mammoth cloud, Marie's outline cloaked the sun, creating darkness upon the landscape-so great, so long. People from miles around glared up at the terrifying monster. They felt like ants that at any moment could be squashed out of existence by a single misguided footstep. Every time Marie spoke, the sky rang out like clasps of thunder, crashing, vibrating to the earth below.
The higher she grew, however, the thinner the air became and the less oxygen she had to breathe. Rebel prayed she wouldn't get dizzy and fall. The consequences could be catastrophic. Marie's monstrous eyes grew so large they became like giant reflectors. When people looked up, they saw their entire town mirrored in her eyes.
Marie gazed down at the little figures below, they reminded her of her dolls at home. But as she grew taller, they gradually became more like ants. The swarm encircled her, but kept their distance for fear of being stepped on. Marie turned her back to the sun, towering a wicked shadow southward, blanketing an entire city in a total eclipse.
Marie felt enormously powerful now. She had her mind set on making a lasting impression-much more than just giant footprints.
As Marie grew taller and taller, the feeling of power became so strong she felt as if she could control the whole world.
"I'm a blast! A blast!" she hollered horribly. "I will make the whole world serve me hand and foot!"
- p293: ...into the clouds.
Marie walked across the open field in a daze from her rapid descent back to earth. Bellarouse grabbed her daughter in a bear hug and spun her around in her arms for joy. Marie looked toward her prize railroad car full of yogurt, then sprinted out across the field, climbed up the side of the car, and dove into the yogurt.

Red Is For Remembrance
- (excellent APed glimpse, ghost ARed) Laurie Faria Stolarz.
p189:
...but I stop at the front door. It comes up to my waist, like a child's playhouse or fort. The door edges open, inviting me in.
"It's dry in here. Take a seat and have no fear."
I bend down to enter. It's just a box inside, barely enough room for two people. The little girl is sitting cross-legged in the sand.
"Are you ready to know the truth, or will I have to let you sleuth?" she asks.
She looks so much different up close: long wheat-blond hair that goes straight down her back; pale, grayish eyes; pointed chin; and a tiny curl of a mouth. She's like a younger version of Porsha.
"Close your eyes, and I'll show you a surprise," she says."
I close my eyes and she takes my hands. Her fingers are cold; they quiver slightly in my grip.
"Okay," she says after several seconds. "I'm ready."
I peek my eyes open. Sitting before me is no longer a little girl. It's a grown woman. I gasp and try to pull my hands away, but she squeezes them, holding me in place. "Don't be afraid," she whispers.
I scoot back to give her room, noticing how much she's grown in the past few seconds. She's still wearing her long and flowing gown, only now it fits her, and, aside from the obvious age difference and growth spurt, she doesn't look so much different than her little-girl version.
"Are you Porsha's mother?" I repeat.
She nods. "You can be any age on the other side."
"The other side?"
"I haven't quite made it there yet." She tucks her feet up under her legs to avoid kicking me.
"Where is there?"
"That's up to you to decide," she says, angling her neck forward so her head doesn't bump against the ceiling.
"It's hard to explain," she continues. "Even though I haven't crossed over, I still have some of the other side's privileges, like changing my age at will."
"Will you ever go to the other side?" I ask, noticing how she's no longer speaking in rhyme.
"I hope so," she says. "With your help. You need to help my little girl."

(temporal anomaly flashed forward) William S. Kerr. Phase-shifting boy can walk through solid objects but loses track of the time.
"...they all gathered around the girl I ran into.
Her dress was dirty and torn at the side near her knee and she was fiddling with that.
She couldn't tell them what happened, and there was nothing seriously wrong with her, so they turned toward the river again.
Even Regula - she forgot about her dress pretty quick when the crowd started murmuring.
I sneaked over behind Regula. It wasn't until I was close that I noticed something. Her clothes were different, of course, but the same kind. What I noticed different is that she was older than she'd been. About our age. You could tell from her face. It was ... bonier. No, not bonier, but it had more shape.
"And she was filled out a little here." He made vague cupping gestures around his chest. "But she wasn't much taller than she'd been. She was still smaller than me."
Konrad and he had many speculative and querulous discussions about the difference in growth between the boys and girls in their class. The girls towered over the boys. They hunched their shoulders in self-consciousness, as humiliated by their heights as the boys were by their deficits, but this just made them loom.
Mark was infatuated with a girl named Vicki White... One could almost follow every dimension of her growth day by day.
"It has been two years."
"It's only been a couple weeks for me."
She was taller and older and prettier, but it was Regula."

Other times she seemed very much a woman, much older than her twenty-some years, with more experience than all of us. Rosario looked most deadly and most woman when she was making love.

She had outgrown it; the sleeves did not reach the wrists; it was strained across her beautifully rounded bosom, because it had fitted her when she was twelve years old; and the band of blue cloth had been pinned and re-pinned, and strained to coax it to meet, till the texture would scarcely retain the pins. Her uncle thought her beautiful, any way. I am not sure he disliked the look of the strained broad cloth. He did not wish to think of her as a woman ..."

In the 1st book, a secondary character goes from black to gray to black hair repeatedly while using too much chaos magic and then recovering.

Sanja - The Unintentional Vampire (Vampire Houses Book One)
- (AP) Michael Blackthorne, 2011.
11 y.o. Sanja became a full-grown woman overnight, with powers other vampires only dreamed about. How was she to deal with the newly stirred adult feelings for Manuel, the handsome prisoner of the vampires?
- "... from the tunnel stepped a young woman who seemed eerily familiar ... She was naked, except for a bit of red cloth held against her chest, and her lower, more private areas. The young stranger stood there without saying anything ... "Who are you?"
"Don't you recognize me? ... I'm Sanja."
Sanja held herself back in the shadows of the tunnel ... held the torn dress against her exposed, preternaturally mature body, trembling with shame. She hadn't been hurt. Nor had the dress been ripped from her ... her own body had done that.
It was only the darkness that mollified Sanja's shame about her own nakedness. She didn't yet know how to feel about the swollen fullness of her breasts or the heavy meat of her buttocks, though her fingers kept creeping along the flesh as if denying their truth. She was glad that Manuel had agreed to wait further down the tunnel until she called him.
"You can't be Sanja. You look nineteen or twenty..."
"I was told that sangrists age when they take their first power," said Sanja..."

Nothing but a little girl string bean but as he watched she sprouted nubs on her chest and apple cheeks on her behind. She was bare and smooth all over and it wasn't like peeking at the woman parts of his sisters because Lucy was planted in that pot and growing faster than a storm just for him.

- p96: "What is it?" Kylie asked.
"Nothing," Della said. "It's just... your heart's still racing really fast, and you look... different."
Della continued walking but held her hands out in front of her boobs. "The girls."
Kylie looked down at her chest. "You've seen me without my bra before."
Della stopped. "It's not that your girls aren't supported. It's that they're bigger."
"They are not." Kylie stopped walking and protectively cupped her full size Bs in her palms. And the craziest thing happened. They didn't feel right. They felt... "Oh damn!" They felt bigger.
"She's right." Miranda cupped her own boobs as if checking them.
"Oh, God," muttered Kylie, staring down at herself.
"Hey, if you don't want them, pass me a cup or two over here," Della laughed.
Kylie recalled thinking that everything was changing. She just hadn't expected that to mean her boobs.
"That's not all," Miranda added. You're taller too. You must have had a growth spurt overnight."
"A growth spurt?" Kylie stood straight and visually measured herself against both Della and Miranda. She did appear to be a bit taller. Right then, her shoes felt tighter too. What was happening to her?
Kylie wanted to believe this was just a normal growth spurt ...
Della looked down at her chest. "Do I look like I got bigger? I wish."
Kylie looked back down at her boobs. "What if it doesn't stop. What if I just keep getting bigger?"
"Then you'll have boys lining up for miles." Miranda snickered. "Hey, you know how they feel about boobs. The more the merrier."
Kylie tried to appreciate their light-hearted reactions to her situation, but it didn't dampen her concern.
...she occasionally wished she had a bit more on top. Especially when she compared herself to Sara, her best friend back home who no longer called, whose boobs were an eye magnet for guys. And sure, another few inches of height meant Kylie would look thinner.
... DNA coursing through her body made her nervous ... would she end up having to have her size F bras custom-made ...
Kylie still had her boobs in her hand when the chill ran down...
... ghost folded over and barfed all over Kylie's too-tight tennis shoes...
"Gross," Kylie jumped back and slammed into Miranda.
- p122: ... Bigger. I know." He reached out and caught a handful of her hair. And your hair is longer."
"I'm taller too," she said.
He took a visual measure of her and his eyes widened. "What happened?"
She shuffled her feet, painfully aware that her shoes were pinching her toes at this moment.
"I told you. I'm embarrassed ... about getting bigger."
- p129: Kylie held out her hands in front of her boobs.
Holiday's brows wrinkled. "I was hoping you'd just gotten a new Wonderbra."
"Afraid not. There's my hair too." Kylie pulled it over her shoulder. "Plus my shoes are almost too tight, and I'm sure I'm a whole inch taller."
"Mmm, it's odd ..."
"What's not fair is to leave me in the dark. Because believe me, whatever you have to tell me isn't going to be half as bad as what I'm imagining."
Kylie had suspected that Burnett had noticed her boob increase. To his credit he'd dealt with it well, but to think he and the others were discussing it, well, it felt like overkill. Really dead stinky overkill. "You two discussed my boobs?"
- p142: Standing up, she shucked off her nightshirt and slipped back into her too-short jeans, her too-tight bra, too-tight tennis shoes...

A young girl's heritage from a past life will change her fate. Eight and a half year old Summer is the reincarnation of Shasta, who the village is named after. She immediately re-falls in love with boy-turned-cat Merlin. Assuming that Summer's parents are relatively normal and very loving, I cannot fathom they only call aunt May "eccentric" when she tells them their preteen daughter vanished into the past, where she also magically grew older.
- May ... gasped in amazement. Summer's hair had certainly grown during the time that she had been staying here but it now seemed much longer ... Summer was so surprised at the change in herself, she almost missed the chair and sat on the floor. Could that really be her, she wondered. She looked so different and so much older. Strangely, her hair had dried almost immediately and was now past her shoulders ... Since she had changed Summer's hair to blonde, the child seemed not only to grow in height, but also to have matured into a beautiful young woman. Summer seemed to have taken this in her stride, laughing many times when she had tried to fit into clothes and footwear that was much too small for her now. Consequently, May, with Summer's help, had done a few spells which provided Summer with new clothes and shoes.

...something truly gross happened. His beard sprouted. It was like watching a jillion tiny snakes slither out of his skin all at once. At the same time, his face began to wrinkle. She shrank back. "Eeeeeeew." It was so disgusting that for a second she felt too fascinated to be afraid.
..."I have to get out of these tight jeans before I change."
..."A killer might cross an international border carried in the arms of his mother."
...Cass struggled against her ropes ... Immediately he got an itch between his shoulder blades.
Cass laughed. "Everything will be okay, then. Doug will burst his ropes."
"That's the Incredible Hulk," Milo said slowly.
"But that's good, right?" She waited. "Right?"
"Sure," Doug said. He knew where Milo was going with this. It wasn't good.
"For Heaven's sake. I'll close my eyes, if that's what's bothering you."
He'd burst out of his clothes. That much was for sure.
"The first one whose ropes break will untie the others," Cass went on.
"The ropes won't break," Milo said softly. "They'll slice open his ankles and wrists. Then the same thing will happen to me." ... He'd bleed to death.
...A shower of earrings hit the floor, along with her nose stud.
"She did it!" Milo called.
A seven-year-old Cass with orange eyebrows sat in what looked like a heap of her mother's clothes ... She pulled her sweatshirt forward and looked down at her chest. "I'm flat."
His hands were almost numb, but he grabbed the shears from her and cut the ropes around his ankles. Just in time - sort of.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrip!
His clothes practically dissolved on his body. He was squeezed in the rags that remained.
...Milo was able to take off his clothes before he changed, so that gave Cass a full set.

Shrinking Pains
(excellent AP RN novel, AR/AP scenes) Maureen Goldman, 1996.
Best friends Doug and Milo, both 12, along with Doug's worldly cousin Cassandra, 14, discover a fountain of youth; the water halves the age of whomever drinks it, but only for 3 hours. The kids' clothes dont shrink. The boys enjoy shrinking to age 6 and going trick-or-treating, getting into the movies for half price, playing at the mall, and sneaking into a girls' slumber party. The results of their schemes are often unexpected and sometimes horribly embarrassing, as in the memorable line "he was naked at a girls' slumber party." Most of the time they are 6-year-olds. In a bizarre episode Doug shrinks, bumps his head, and forgets that he isn't really 6 years old. Others know about the fountain, however, and will stop at nothing to get control of it. The kids are tied with ropes at age 6, about to return to their real age. Doug and Milo realize what's in store for them if they can't escape from tight bounds before changing back to their normal, larger sizes. Bad guys AR to babyhood. (JeffR) cover

Still he hesitated. Swallowing any uncertainty, I slid the first button of my dress loose, moving to the second, then the third. As I fumbled with the fourth button he groaned and pushed away my fingers and deftly undid the buttons all the way to my waist, peeling back the edges to expose the thin chemise stretched too tautly over my aching breasts. I usually outgrew my clothes bosom first, and things had been snug of late, but never this tight. It was as if my breasts had swelled from my need for him.
I arched my back again and several buttons on my chemise popped off.
"Hell," he whispered. ... then he finished the deed. The rest of the tiny chemise buttons popped and cool air fanned my breasts as they spilled free from the binding.

The Pirate's Coin
- (preteen size changes) by Marianne Malone, 2013.
...hoping above all else to stay small... "Quick, under!" She felt the neck of her T-shirt beginning to readjust ... her upper body was on the outside now and she yanked her growing legs from under the door. In less than three seconds, they were sitting, full size, at the bottom of an outdoor stairwell. "That was awesome!"
The feeling of growing while falling had become one of Ruthie's favorite sensations ... Her attitude had changed since the first time she had tried it, which had been hair-raising. Weightless, her hair flowed behind her and for a few seconds, while still small, the air passing under her outstretched arms gave her lift ... she had become skillful at landing completely balanced as her full-sized self.
...flicked the key away from the web. She expected to grow in the usual smooth process. But it was as though the web was fighting back, clutching half of her body! She felt her right side rising while the left was being pulled down. She thought she might break in two! Finally - and although it was only seconds, Ruthie saw her life flash before her eyes - she reached the size where her body was stronger than the spider filament. She burst free of it, and in the process the web ripped apart...

Sixty-Eight Rooms Adventures
Stealing Magic: A Sixty-Eight Rooms Adventure
- (preteen size changes) Marianne Malone, 2012.
Please let it work, Ruthie thought fleetingly. She had almost forgotten the sensations involved in the shrinking process. In a split second, a gentle breeze began to blow her hair. Her clothes caught up to her new size as she got smaller and smaller; she perceived what she though must be the minute sound of threads crinkling. Her skin temporarily tightened ever so slightly, and her muscles contracted as she shrank under the unstoppable force...the room melted into a weird expanding blur around her...Ruthie stood five inches tall, and the now-enormous room came into focus. Tiny Ruthie scurried across the carpet - the loops of wool came nearly halfway up her shins - and scooted under the door...She stood and let the key fall so she could go back to her full size, nearly losing her balance as she regrew. She felt her clothes tighten, then expand; her muscles tingled. The ledge appeared to descend to her height right in front of her!...Then she picked up the key and let herself shrink again.

Size Matters: How Height Affects the Health, Happiness, and Success of Boys - and the Men They Become
- (FF) Stephen S. Hall, 2006.
Tanner and Whitehouse were chroniclers, cartographers, and photographers of this momentous transformation...they charted every aspect of pubertal change - from the topography of emerging breasts...to the first appearance of whiskers in boys - with almost military precision...when axillary hair...began to appear (well into the growth spurt, after age thirteen)...a time-lapse map charting the appearance of hair on the face of adolescent boys: the first wisp crops up at the corners of upper lips, then marches inward across the entire upper lip, then spreads to the upper cheeks and that little central divot below the lower lip, and then finally fills in the sides and recesses of the chin. They defined the physical changes, not only in height but also in shape, that occur with the growth spurt, as well as the differences in timing...between girls and boys. By 1970 they had produced a kind of syncopated, orchestral map of puberty...Once the testes begin to enlarge, multiple changes are set in motion. Shortly after age twelve, pubic hair first begins to show in boys. Around twelve and a half, the penis begins to enlarge...announces itself, rudely, as a wet dream...about one year after the penis has enjoyed its little growth spurt..."often during sleep and accompanied by appropriate dreaming."...the volume of gray matter in the frontal cortices...peaks in girls at age 11 and in boys at age 12...

Solario the Tailor, His Tales of the Magic Doublet
(adult rejuvenation scene) William Bowen, 1922.
"On the earthen floor, ... the old Ragpicker was kneeling before a brazier containing a brisk fire, over which hung an iron pot.
Presently she stopped stirring, and sniffing the contents of the pot nodded her head as if satisfied. She picked up from the ground an iron ladle and ... drank it down, every drop.
She put down the ladle and the bowl, and stood motionless, as if waiting. A change began to come over her. Her back straightened; she grew taller; the wrinkles left her face; her skin became fairer, her eyes larger, her hair longer; and there before my eyes stood a young and beautiful damsel, tall and erect, with dark eyes in a pale face, and two thick braids of brown hair hanging to her waist.
She held up her right hand and looked at it. The long black stiff finger with the hook was still there. She screamed, and burying her face on her left arm shook with sobs. In a moment she raised her head and put away her hideous right hand behind her where she could not see it. Her left hand she placed over her eyes, with a gesture of despair, and as she remained standing in that attitude the hand over her eyes grew old and withered; she began to shrink and stoop, and she moaned to herself. It was plain that the effect of what she had drunk was beginning to wear off. She shuddered, and gave a mournful cry; and in another instant she was the old, bent Ragpicker again."

Something Occurred
(TF old aged) Benjamin Leopold Farjeon, 1893, 331p.
- After 1 year of marriage, young wife Edwina was suddenly transformed into an older person.
- text extracts:
"May I take the liberty of inquiring who you are?"
"Who am I?" replied the old lady. "Why, I am Edwina!"
"Merciful powers!" he cried, as he passed his hand across his brow. "Edwina!"
"Upon my word, love," said the old lady, "I shall get cross if you go on playing this stupid game any longer. But, heavens!" A sudden alarm seized her. "Something has occurred!" she cried. "I see it all! Oh, my poor darling, you have lost your memory! Your mind is a blank. Everything in the past is blotted out, and you will have to commence all over again. But I will stand by you, love. You will always be to me the dearest boy, and I will never, never desert you! Oh, how sorry I am for you, dear Harold, how sorry, how sorry!"
"Edwina," said Harold, much moved by her tenderness, "I have not lost my memory; I am" -he glanced at himself in the mirror over the mantelpiece- "myself. So far as I can judge, there is no change in my appearance, and I feel none mentally. I perceive now that you have Edwina's dress on, and, yes, Edwina's rings are on your fingers and the bracelet I gave you is on your wrist, though they are rather loose. Edwina -for I will continue to call you by that dear name till the crack of doom, whatever you become; no change in you will alter my feelings for you- Edwina, it is to you, not to me, that something has occurred!"
She saw that he was speaking the truth, and she rose slowly, trembling in every limb; and as she rose she discovered that her frock was both too short and too loose for her -which proved that in a few moments she had grown taller and thinner. Edwina, in her own proper person, was a plump little body, somewhat under the ordinary stature, and she might well lose a little in roundness and gain an inch in height without in the least detracting from her loveliness as an old lady. But the fear that assailed her as she now rose to her feet was that she had been transformed into either something hideous or something so ludicrous as to cause every one who saw her to shriek with laughter.
"Harold," she whispered, clinging to his arm, "you will not cast me off, will you? You will not run away from me?"
"Cast you off!" he cried. "Run away from you! How can you think that of me? I took you for better or worse, as you took me, and I am going to take care of you and to be true to you through thick and thin. There!"
He kissed her, and said to himself, "Not so bad," though of course he would have infinitely preferred Edwina's plump, smooth, velvety cheek. This sign of affection did not reassure Edwina. "Harold is such a dear fellow," she thought, "that he will submit to any sacrifice to comfort me." Very, very slowly, guided by Harold, she approached the mirror, but it was with closed eyes, and there she stood for quite a time with her hands before her face.
"Look at yourself, Edwina," said Harold encouragingly.
His voice was so exceedingly kind that it encouraged her to take a peep, and gradually she widened the lattice of her fingers, and gazed at her reflection with a feeling of intense relief; and as she gazed, a smile so charming came to her lips that Harold put his arm around her and pressed her fondly to him.
"You dear boy, you dear boy," she cried, "it might have been ever so much worse than it is! What lovely hair -and what white teeth, considering my age! Harold, dear, when we were each other we had to accept it, and now I am goodness knows who, we must also accept it."
"Certainly we will accept it, and will make the best of it," said Harold.
"There is nothing repulsive in my appearance, and therefore there is no reason why I should be boxed up, as we were before. Dear Harold, you will not box me up, will you?"

Phyllis' mouth dropped open as she now looked at a young, beautiful woman, staring back at her from the mirror. The young woman's mouth dropped open at the precise moment that Phyllis' mouth did, and Phyllis made other movements, which the mirror image mimicked exactly.
...modeling and revealing to Phyllis all the beauty that was meant...
Her hair was long and thick. It was lustrous and jet black, with soft red highlights and waves that fell down below Phyllis' milky white shoulders and onto the skin of her smooth, flawless back.
Phyllis let out a little sigh, and a perfect pink blush grew upon the woman's cheeks.
She threw back her head and ran her hands through her hair and down the sides of her breast. Then she caught her breasts in her hands and teasingly displayed them...
First the woman cupped them in her hands, squeezing them with her caresses, forcing them to grow hard and full. She caressed them until the nipples grew hard and erect. Their pale, beige color deepened the more the woman in the mirror rubbed them.
...she could feel her own breasts, rising, growing, and changing.
A metamorphosis was occurring, from scarred hideous woman into goddess.
She put her hands on her waist, not an inch of flab.
Her waist was tiny, and her stomach was flat.
Her nipples hardened even more, and her back arched...
The man whispered her name. "Phyllisss! Come to me Phyllis, I can make you young and beautiful, all you have to do is come to me."

Long, luxurious auburn hair turned gray with streaks of white, shortening until it was frizzy and barely touching her shoulders. Taut facial skin sagged as though gravity was reclaiming its own, and the once-flawless complexion disappeared, to be replaced with a roadmap of wrinkles liberally dotted with liver spots. The lush and youthful body broadened with additional weight. Pert breasts drooped into shapeless masses, and her fingers became twisted and gnarled with the ravages of arthritis.
And suddenly, she was Marlee's aunt! Older perhaps, but undeniably recognizable as her beloved Fina! A collective gasp went up... "So totally not possible!"
In the twinkling of an eye, Fiona resumed her youthful appearance... I only pretend to grow old with the passage of time..."

Some men had seen her today, and eyed her greedily, but she had slipped away..."

BIG For Christmas
- (excellent girls to women Age Progression transformation novel, multiple UCed aftermath scenes and limited clothes effect descriptions, slight CB incident and growth-related wardrobe problems, implied BE/height and size increases, coming of age, RN ARed)
Francine Pascal, 11/1/1994, 256 pages.
- Magna Edition, 3rd book.
From description found online:
- 12-year-old twins are invited to the biggest Christmas party ever, but their parents won't let them go. They go to a carnival instead where they make a wish to be big. When they wake up the next morning, a shocking transformation has occurred!
Elizabeth wakes sweating and her nightgown is really tight around her neck. She gets out of bed and stretches, and the arms of the gown rip. She looks down and sees her nightgown is hanging above her knees, whereas last night it was floor length. Hmm, very strange! Being Elizabeth, she thinks she is just half asleep, and goes into the bathroom. In the mirror she sees a blond haired, pacific-blue eyed woman looking back at her. Liz thinks there's an intruder in the bathroom. She screams and runs back into her room just as Jessica enters the bathroom.
Jessica has also woken up feeling a little odd. Her pajamas are a tad short, shall we say! She sees a blond haired, pacific-eyed woman rush into Liz's bedroom. Jessica thinks there is a burglar in Elizabeth's room, but she does note the woman looked "oddly familiar". Liz wonders who this person is, so she peeks into the bathroom:
...
  "Arrgghhh!" the woman screamed.
  But this time, Elizabeth wasn't going to run away. She was going to face the lady down. Slowly, she began to step toward the strange young woman.
  The strange young woman seemed to have decided the same thing.
  She was approaching Elizabeth in the same, cautious manner in which Elizabeth was approaching her.
  Their eyes met, and Elizabeth felt another strange sensation. It was the shock of recognition.
  She was looking at herself!
  "Jessica?" she asked in a whisper.
  "Elizabeth?" the lady gasped.
  As one, Elizabeth and Jessica turned their heads toward the mirror that hung over Jessica's dressing table.
  "Arrgghhh!" they screamed together.
...
The twins are GROWN UPS!
Mrs. W knocks on the door asking who screamed, and obviously they can't let her in. Jess quickly makes up a story to fob her off. She then decides they need to leave the house and therefore need some clothes.
Liz suggests the big tracksuits they have, but these are too small!!
There's only one thing for it - raid Alice's closet. Jessica is thrilled: this is the opportunity she has been waiting for for years! Jess sneaks along the hallway, has a close shave with Ned, but escapes being seen by hiding behind a closet door. She steals a black jumpsuit and a conservative suit for Elizabeth. Jess also takes some high heels and some pumps for Liz. She notices "with a thrill" that she is now slightly taller than her mom!
Jessica goes back to her room but bumps into Steven. He tries to block her way but Jessica barges past him saying, "very mature, Steven". Steven doesn't recognize her and the twins quickly get dressed and shinny down the drain to escape the house. They get jobs driving a donut truck and working in an office. Steven finally realizes the grown women are his sisters, and something has to be done. They go to another carnival and find a wishing well to unwish the original age change. They drop the coin and there is a flash, but they are still fully grown.
On the bus back, the twins fall asleep together on the back seat. Steven is trying to figure out how to break the news to their parents when they reach their stop. Steven calls the twins to wake up, and two blond, tousled, 12 y.o. heads pop up. The wish worked!
All 3 are really happy as they make their way home to find Ned on the doorstep. He rushes them all into a big hug, saying he doesn't want an explanation of where they have been, but as punishment they are grounded over Christmas so they can have some quality family time together.
- Excellent original UC cover art before & aftermath scene.
Notice: there is no evidence this book was adapted into one of the Tv episodes.

Only a few tiny snippets could be extracted.
p116:
She yawned and stretched her arms out wide.
Riiip!
The shoulder seams on either side of her gown tore and left a large gaping hole across the back.
What in the... She jumped out of bed and her...
p120:
She wanted to go get help, but she knew she couldn't keep Jessica alone in there. Not with a strange woman who, for some weird reason, seemed to be wearing Jessica's pajamas, the blue ones that Elizabeth had given her for her last...
p125:
Jessica straightened her posture and squared her shoulders.
Riiip!
The entire sleeve of Jessica's pajama top tore...
Jessica ran into her room and made a frantic lunge for her bottom drawer, where she kept clothes that were a little too big. She reached for the warm-up suit that Aunt Helen had sent a few months ago. She peeled the torn pajamas off and stepped into the pants. "Ugh!" she said out loud. The pants were way too tight. She felt as if she were being strangled from the waist down.
She tried to pull the top down over her...
p129:
...and get everything zipped and buttoned. The hem was a little shorter than she had expected. My gosh, she thought in surprise. We're taller than Mom.
She ran into her bedroom, threw up her win...
p167:
...were taller than he was. It would be pretty tough on his dad to have to look up to yell at the twins.

Switchers
(TF) 1994, Kate Thompson, trilogy. Tess is a Switcher, able to change into any animal she chooses. She discovered this ability at a young age, but she has kept it a secret.

Tess and Kevin travel north, Switching from form to form until they find themselves confronting the terrible krools. Some of the details are a bit questionable: the Switchers' clothes change with them, and while that is certainly convenient for the characters, it strikes the reader as implausible.
