Page 326: "...and were no longer eight or nine years old. They were both about fifteen or sixteen. They were bursting out of their clothes that were now too tight for them. One had a rip up the right side of her dress all the way from her hip to her underarm. She looked at me and blushed. She had a crush on me I could tell. The other one did too. I could see the line of her young breasts through a tear in the front of her dress (and both girls dresses rode much of the way up their thighs). I turned away, afraid to look at them. I started to blush at their blossoming beauty.
I fumbled at the blackboard to avoid eye contact and listened to the sound of what must have been a man on the roof going up and down, up and down over and over again in compulsive action, never stopping or slowing down. I'd have to go outside soon and investigate why this was happening.
It was unavoidable. I was going to have to turn and look at the girls again at some point, look at the girls and their bright and beaming faces full of love for me. I turned and was terribly startled and frightened. I could now see into them, into their flesh and see their internal organs, their bones.
I could also see into their wombs, see the bones of their feet in their thin undersized shoes...
It was at this time I decided I'd better do something so I stopped my lesson (I guessed I had been rambling on about something or other) and asked, "Would one of you girls put some more wood in the stove. I'm going outside to see what all that commotion is on the roof." They raced each other to the wood pile. They were both eight years old again and snug inside their dresses and shoes."

Last of the Wilds
(age changes) By Trudi Canavan, Age of the Five trilogy.
ch 15: She was in the process of changing her age. He could only see her face, but it showed subtle signs of change. Skin that had been fresh and firm with youth now hung slightly looser on her cheekbones. The faintest lines had formed around her eyes and mouth. Strands of hair had fallen out, forming a golden coating on the rough mattress she had made. He picked up a few strands. There were stripes of variation along the first hand span of its length. Successive dying, he guessed. Weaker each time. She said she had been an old woman before this. Her hair could have been white. It could have stayed that way, despite the rest of her body changing to a more youthful form, but from then on it grew in her natural color. She must have dyed the white, first with cheap pigment, then with better dye that the brothel provided.
p. 88: "Then why not be a child? No one would suspect a child of being a sorceress, and people would feel compelled to help you."
"The change wastes me. If I'd gone back so far I'd have been too weak to fend for myself. The city was full of desperate childeren."
"So you became young and beautiful. A fine way to avoid drawing attention to yourself."
She looked up at him and he saw her pupils enlarge with anger. "Are you suggesting I did it out of vanity?"

Legend of the Teenage Sages, The
(AP AA, male AP AA) Jacob Cortez.
"Hey, I was thinking guys..." said Becca, "what if we had the power to make our costumes immediately appear on us but also make us look a few years older?"
"You can do that?" asked Mike, taken aback. "But why would we want to look older?"
"Well, some people out there might not take us seriously because we're younger. But, if we could seem to be more mature teenagers, around seventeen or eighteen, they couldn't dismiss us so easily."
"Would we be able to go back to our normal selves?" asked Toni concerned.
"Definitely," said Becca. "I mean it would be tough to explain at school why we all suddenly look so much older. Besides, I'm enjoying my young teenage years."
"What if our parents find out? How could we possibly explain when..."
p77: "So, not only are we sages, but mutants too, in a way," said Becca.
"Well," said Toni, "I want to see what my costume looks like."
"I almost forgot," said Becca. "Let me see the drawings, Jake." "Okay," she said with a smile, "not bad. I'm sure they'll look better once we're in them. Let's give it a shot!"
Becca lined them up across the room, giving each one an appraising look. She began to glow and then snapped her fingers at each of them in turn. The teens looked each other up and down with amazement as they began to morph slowly into older forms of themselves.
Jake studied the expressions on the others' faces. "I guess you like them then?"
"Oh yeah," the others all agreed enthusiastically.

She was also a lot taller, and her hair was longer and a brighter gold.
"Hmm...not too shabby" she said softly as she turned from side to side.
Toni was taller too, but not as tall as the others. Her baby fat had finally turned to sleek, strong muscle. She had darker, longer, hair and wore a long, royal blue silk hooded cloak.
Under the cloak, she wore a shiny black bodysuit of form-fitting leather.
....she pushed the others out of the way to twirl in front of the mirror...
"I said I would grow out of the awkward puppy stage! Too cool, Becca!"
Jake was now taller than ever, and had longer brown hair down to his shoulders. He was just as muscular as Mike and had a short beard in dark brown flecked with blond.
The rest of the teens beamed at Becca, and she blushed. They couldn't believe how different they looked.

Lord Of Time, The
(AP CBed, OA) Stephen J. Wolf, self published. Chapter 13: Plant Seeds
"Then I felt so strange. I turned around to look at Father for help, and did so without losing my balance. He seemed impressed, because he immediately rose to his feet. And I noticed, he wasn't as tall as he used to be. Then his stomach started to sag and his eyes turned away from me. My hands kept getting bigger and bigger, but the clothes were getting smaller and smaller." He rubbed his upper thighs. "Luckily the clothes Mother gave me had some room in them. I grew so fast, and they split in the back and on the sides, but they somehow still wrapped around my waist. And when I noticed that I was cold, I heard my father gasp. I went to him, and he was holding a very old woman, who was my mother, though I didn't know until later when Taniata said so.
"So, I got up and stood near my father, and he looked at me as if he knew me, but didn't know me. He didn't say my name until after Taniata and Felotod came down the stairs. I guess the three of us in the same room jarred his memory." He shrugged. "I looked at Taniata when she came down, and she was wrapped up in a sheet. I understood why -- she grew out of her clothes like I did. For the same reason, Felotod had grabbed a towel. Taniata looked even more beautiful than ever, but I couldn't stare at her. After all, she's my sister, and besides, Mother and Father weren't well."

p03:
...he couldn't even change himself into an adult, he had already used up both his chances, and the third would have changed him into a man permanently. Turning into a man for good, at the age of twelve, was a prospect that did not appeal to him greatly.
p29:
Even if Theo now reached for his sword to put up some defense, he would still need the extra power of the charm to turn him into an adult if he wanted to halt Tuo-Loo-Loo's surprise assault.
p62:
... worst still his charm had slipped off his neck... Once again transformed back into a six-year old, he found himself locked in the grip...
p127:
"You know that we are as adults with a slip of this charm, and our chances are as good as any grown-up, I can not wait, this is something I must do," said Kay more determined than ever.
p139:
...perhaps if she changed herself into an adult it might alter her fear factor, could it open up safer avenues which were closed to her as a child?
There was no better time than now to try out her theory. All she had to do was slip the charm over her head, and she would know. She reached into her pocket and scooped up the charm, she felt an instant tingling sensation, sparking excitement that spread rapidly through her body. The prospect of changing into an adult created the greatest thrill, the knowledge that she could rewind at any moment and reclaim her child status...
She gently lifted the charm up over her head, in her mind's eye she could see an aura of her adult self emerge, like a silent apparition waiting to come to life. Her eyes flickered with muted anticipation in a semi-closed state.
Just before she released the deluge of excitement over her, it suddenly all evaporated ... she spotted Wroth as he approached.
"There you are," said Wroth, relieved he had found his young charge.
Kay scrunched the charm back into her pocket, she had wanted the help and wisdom of an adult, and it had produced one out of thin air.
p163:
How she had grown! Kay, who had been determined...
p164:
...without a second thought slide it over her head and drop around her neck. Her instant transformation was both physical and mental; her adult thoughts governed her every move, ready and controlled, focused on a combat to win.
"Kay let's go, don't fight her," Theo urged his grown-up and confident sister. If there was any female ready to take on the serpent queen, ...
p180:
It was that young pretender wearing her grown-up disguise...

(doll growth CB) Gabriel Garcia Marquez. p 125: "This conviction became even more bitter after the fear caused by the black doll that was sent to her without any letter ... it was dressed in an exquisite gown, its hair rippled with gold threads and it closed its eyes when it was laid down. It seemed so charming to Fermina Daza that she overcame her scruples and laid it on her pillow during the day and grew accustomed to sleeping with it at night. After a time, however, she discovered when she awoke from an exhausting dream that the doll was growing: the original exquisite dress she had arrived in was up above her thighs, and her shoes had burst from the pressure of her feet.

Magic by the Lake

Magic by the Lake
(AP) 1957 children's book. The protagonists are 4 siblings. 2 of the sisters wish themselves into teenagers and go on a double date, and their brother and sister have to chase them down and undo the wish before the date goes too far.
p53:
'I mean to be popular too', said Jane with decision.
'To fraternity house parties,' said Katharine, not sure just what these were, but thinking they sounded dashing.
'And midnight canoe rides,' said Jane.
'I wish we were sixteen right now, don't you?' said Katharine, trailing one foot in the water.
'Yes', said Jane, trailing one of hers, 'I do.'
Immediately they were.
Mark felt the change coming just before it happened, and started to cry out, but what could he say? All he could do was watch, horrified, as his sisters' figures lengthened in the middle, and their scratched legs grew slim and elegant, and their faces changed from tan and freckled to pink-and-white and powdered and uppity.
'I don't like it! Tell it to stop!' cried Martha, gazing at her expanding sisters in dismay.
'It's that magic,' said Mark. 'We said not every day, but nobody said anything about the night-times!'
Of course, if the magic had chosen to be really mean, it could have made Jane and Katharine grow up, still in their short smocked frocks and circle-combs, and they might have looked like little girls, only stretched, the way Alice did after she ate the cake that said, 'Eat me'.
But it took pity on their faltering youth and provided suitable dance dresses, one pink and one turquoise. And their straight un-sixteenish hair curled rapidly into a fashionable frizz, cut in the new shingle bob.
'Eek!' said the vision in pink (who seemed to be Katharine), pulling her foot quickly up out of the lake.
'What nasty cold water!"
'Paddling with the little ones, how quaint,' said the altered Jane.
And the two smartly-dressed flappers hurried to pull on the silk hose and satin slippers the magic had thoughtfully left in place of their cast-off socks and scuffed oxfords.
'Run along children,' said the Jane one. 'Go tell your mother she wants you.' And she and the Katharine one turned towards the dance floor.
Mark grabbed Martha's hand, and they hurried after them anxiously.
...'Hello, darlings, having fun?' said their mother, not noticing a thing of course.
But two white-flannelled young men seemed to notice Jane and Katharine quite a lot (which proved that they were perhaps not quite such grown-up young men as they thought they were).
'I say, Topsfield,' said the blond one affectedly, 'What say to a spin on the floor with yon fair damsels?'.
'Some keen chickens,' said the dark one, smoothing his hair.
'Did you hear that?' whispered Jane to Katharine.
'How about a bit of the giddy whirl?' said the dark one to Jane.
...What if they eloped, and then Jane turned back into a little girl again, right at the altar?

Green sparks caressed her frame as I modulated the genes for breast size.
Suddenly her entire body changed slightly: it was impossible to affect one system without changing the whole. The tall woman was a couple inches shorter; her long face was rounder and her breasts were spherical as they strained at the seams of her green shirt.
All at once she threw off her shirt. The bare breasts of the tall woman dangled just inches away.
...Somehow, the teenager I'd just met had become much older; I perceived that time to her was fluid and that she was old to Sisyphus while young to me, could be any age for anyone.
...I devolved from the Slime-thing into a small child.
...The child grew, became a woman...
...I realized that I was slowly growing breasts...
My bosom budded up faster and faster. The nipples contained violence: They thrust up against my red shirt, stretching the fabric. I knew that in another minute the cloth was going to rend, tear. I tore my gaze away from the silver-glass and it actually did rip.
I sat helplessly, tatters of ruby cloth about my shoulders.
She pulled back, puzzled, clutching at the tattered shirt...She tenderly plucked away the ripped apparel.

Then Lucrezia's son shows up and wants to kiss her awake.
- Extracts:
...we were ready to notice the girl who fell, faint from hunger and cold, at our threshold.
We took her in.
Her lower trunk was clad in a skirt the color of dried moss, and her torso in a tunic of meadowlark brown.
We had nothing better to do but sit and keep watch over her until she had finished her rest. It was likely that she slept three, perhaps four years, before she stirred.
She breathed in and out several times, and sat up.
Her hair had become longer as she slept, and as she blinked her eyes she caught her hair in the crook of her arm and shielded her bosom with it. (Her tunic had fallen away into separate threads and couldn't behave as a tunic any longer.)
She sat amidst us, more or less naked as a human baby...
Her clothes had fallen and rotted off her, nothing less than that - and she was naked beneath the slightly clammy sheet.
How peculiar to be naked, she with her lifelong shyness about her form.
...pushed her hair back from her forehead-the hair that fell now almost to her waist...
She stood again, height being all she had against them.
...her fingernails had gone long and witchlike...
Her toenails curled like tusks, and nestled into one another like the overlapping segments of a flattish, chambered shell.
Her breasts, though modestly sheathed in their gown of bedding, moved of their own new weight, and brushed against the cloth bib.
The tender tips of her breasts blistered with a curious sort of pain, and she shook from her elbow to her spine. The convulsion drew the cloth against her breasts again. She exhaled with a spasm of her cheeks and tongue, releasing a wordless sound of surprise.
"I've become a mature person. But I only remember falling in the forest."
I am older-my arms feel like paddles, my breasts turn at their own speed, my legs are monstrously long. Look at these nails. It'll take days to file them down.
"You've been here long enough to grow, I suppose..."
She'd been what, six, seven when he left? And now she must be seventeen.
And here she was, older and mature, but now as good as dead.

The baby grew even more into a toddler wearing an Elmo sweatshirt, a preschooler carrying a book of fairy tales, a six year old holding a soccer ball...the images flew by, one blurring into the other. Jonah couldn't have said how old the child was before she was clearly recognizable as Andrea. Eight? Nine? She kept growing, changing, maturing. In the last seconds of the flashing images, Andrea's appearance changed again, even more dramatically than the switch from the infant in the old-fashioned nightgown to the baby with the Mickey Mouse T-shirt...final image might as well have been pulled from a mirror...exactly as she was now...
"That is so cool! Can you do that for me? Show what I've looked like since birth I mean?"

  Revealed
The Missing: book 7 - 2014.
-- Don't you just hate it when your parents and all other adults in town are reverted into teenagers and then babies? Once again Jonah Skidmore must save the day. Ages are easier to adjust through time travel than by other means.
- Her clothes fell down. Her silky red sweater slipped down on her shoulder ... What if un-aging grown-ups back to thirteen was something that could kill them? ... I think I'm going to be able to deal with this whole thing better if I'm not scared the whole time my clothes are going to fall off ... frightening to have Jonah's father seem so lightweight and frail ... Having Mom and Dad suddenly become thirty years younger was every bit as strange as the messes he'd faced ... It was kid Mom in Katherine's clothes, an even more disturbing sight ... This was the best I could do. I feel ridiculous. You know I was a total tomboy as a kid ... As an adult, Angela had probably been about six feet tall. As a thirteen-year-old she wasn't much shorter. For the first time, Jonah noticed that changing ages hadn't created any clothing problems for her, like they had for Mom. Angela had rolled up the legs of her jeans an inch or so ... baggy pants made him look ridiculously scarecrow-like ... somehow, having so many adults suddenly become much younger, Jonah kind of wanted to act younger himself ... Lindbergh went back into the cockpit and took off. The camera stayed trained on his face, which seemed to be smoothing out, growing younger ... At what point would he realize he himself was turning back into a baby? ... boy looked exactly the same as Jonah, but so much younger ... carrying a baby wrapped in a teenager's clothes ... her eyes were little and squinty, and her nose was often wrinkled up ...

- We've got dozens of adults within a one-mile radius who went back to being thirteen-year-olds. An entire middle-school staff is now the same age as the students ... how do you prosecute babies for crimes they did as adults, in a totally different life? ... Rich parents who have, say, an unruly thirteen-year-old have been paying Rathbone's company to un-age the kid ... Done with people aging into dust in the blink of an eye? ... Jordan stared down at his hands, motionless against the marble floor. Were they aging? Were they the hands of a fourteen-year-old now? A thirty-year-old? ...

Mopsa the Fairy
(size increase) 1869, Jean Ingelow. Physical growth is treated as the natural miracle it is. Writers often use the word "wonder" to describe the "expanding" body. Fairies grow exponentially, as Jack discovers to his amazement, but one fairy is unfazed: "We never take such a long time to grow up as you do . . . . don't argue with me; I am older now than you are-nearly grown up in fact". Jack's affection has slowed Mopsa's physical growth, and given her a depth of character that the other fairies lack. It heralds her growth to the height of queen before she does grow beyond the usual limit, rather quickly for Jack's taste: "I hope you will not go on growing so fast as this, or you will be as tall as my mamma is in a week or two-much too big for me to play with". He constantly measures her growth: "After tea, he measured Mopsa again, and found that she had grown up to a higher button". However, he cannot control it. Jack admits, "If you are not a queen yet, you will be by tomorrow morning; for when our shadows danced on before us yours was so very nearly the same height as mine that I could see hardly any difference" Mopsa herself does not want to grow up at first. "I wish I was in Jack's waistcoat pocket again; but I'm so big now . In the castle, Mopsa was "the size of Jack, and looked like a sweet little girl of ten years, but she did not always behave like one; sometimes she spoke as wisely as a grown-up woman, and sometimes she changed again and seemed like a child". The difference in maturation is further made clear by John Millais's illustration of Mopsa saying goodbye: she looks matronly, embracing Jack from a higher step, whereas he looks like a schoolboy.

Extract:
Maggie watched Nicole stagger through the tombstones. She crashed into one, leaning over its cement cross, gasping, twenty-five years old now, her face young and gorgeous and filled with mortal terror. She pushed back, kept staggering forward. Twenty years old now.
Cursing, screaming, as the rain abruptly stopped and the skies softened.
Nicole stumbled against a tree, clinging to a low branch, her hands thinning, shortening until the branch was too thick to hold onto.
Now sixteen, now twelve, her clothes falling away as she shrank, her face dissolving and reforming, then dissolving again.
She saw Maggie. She ran toward her, begging in a voice strangled by shrinking vocal chords. A gold ring dropped from her too-tiny hands into too-large shoes. She stumbled out of them. Her stockings swam around skinny preadolescent legs.
Her knife sheathes slipped off her forearms into a tangle of weeds. Her veil fell to the earth, forever discarded. Four years old, naked, Nicole finally dropped to her knees, threw her head back and screamed at the sky. But it was a child's scream, without power, without even understanding anymore.

Nostalgia
- (AA AP scenes to old age, RNed) Mircea Cartarescu; transl. Julian Semilian; Andrei Codrescu. Romania, 1989.
- A group of little girls uses a magic watch to physically advance into their own futures.
"It had no movement; it was just a toy designed to learn how to tell time.
She belted out a short scream of surprise because the hands of the watch had disappeared.
She poked her finger inside but pulled it back instantly, staring in fright at a drop of blood. The watch's hands were still there, but they revolved so fast that you couldn't see them.
...each one of us would have to cross the alley and, as we stepped over each line, mime the respective age.
Whale stepped over the 10 line -she was already eleven- and started off with small sporadic steps across the alley.
We would have continued to wonder at the mysteriously animated watch had we not suddenly noticed what was going on with Whale, waddling like a somnambulist along the brick-paved trail.
...at first we thought she was playing at being mature in a disturbingly truthful manner. But it wasn't merely miming: Whale had grown tall, her hips and breasts had become heavier, her hair lighter. She was now indeed worthy of her nickname: a totemic female, as big as Jupiter.
Her clothes were changing shape during her journey, the hem of her skirt rose or fell, her shoe heels were thin at times, stumpy at others.
Halfway through the third section, a thick golden wedding band began to shine on her finger, and when she stepped over the fourth line, her hair started to turn gray. She was much wider than she was tall. She had developed a triple chin, and her breasts hung down to her bellybutton.
She had grown a sparse mustache, and thick strands of hair shot out of her chin. A little before reaching the fifth line, Whale collapsed within herself. We drew back, mad with fear. In a matter of seconds, all that remained were a few bone fragments, wrapped in rotten rags: an earth-hued maxillary, a thigh bone, a few ribs...They became dust and turned to impalpable matter, nothing. We were about to howl, but suddenly Whale appeared next to us, ...
It was now Ada's turn, who took the watch off and left it on the throne. And instead of being frightened, we suddenly got very curious: We wanted to know how the other girls would look when they aged and died. Because the idea of death didn't faze us...
When Ada headed for the first line, Carmina ran after her and took her hand. ...because we didn't want to separate the twins, we allowed them to begin at the same time, shoulder to shoulder, in their little white dresses spotted with tiny red polka dots, with the same glassy, coffee brown hair fluttering behind them, the same idiotic-charming grin on their identical faces. Their clothes changed right after their first step, while they, dissimilar enough to those who knew them closely, were impossible to tell apart.
Approaching the second line, they became two young women in green and white, ... smiling with raw, full lips.
At forty, they were stout women with proud bosoms and high shoulders, veritable mares in delicate black-leather shoes, delicate lame dresses. Their chests sparkled with identical broaches... They didn't reach the fifth line either. Abruptly, one of them dissipated in the wind so quickly that for several moments the skeleton remained standing in its high heels, silk rags suspended from it. The hair fluttered for a time atop the skull, then turned to ash. The fingernails fell to the ground, twisting in the air like the petals of a red rose. The other twin hadn't yet had time to react, and as her sister's skeleton sagged, turned to dirt, and disappeared, she stared at it in bewilderment. She fell to her knees and spread out on the ground, one hip joint sticking out. She froze into place, turned white, and turned to stone. ... which pulverized into chalk dust.
Ada and Carmina were now next to us again, in their usual clothes.
Ester and Carnation took on the traits of their races. Ester grew large and red, with her piles of furs and sophisticated hats, and after fifty she became monstrously fat. Her teeth lost their gums and became horse like between her Asiatic lips, and a mole showed up next to her nostrils. When she crossed the seventh line, she became a disgusting corpse. Carnation, on the other hand, dwindled and darkened... At fifty, she was an old hag in a ragged trench coat with torn pockets. ... she waddled along on bowed legs, a hunchback crow. She croaked before sixty. But there they were again, next to us, quacking and trembling as though they had retained something incommunicable... Not one of them knew what had happened to her own self along the brick alley.
I also prepared myself for the great departure.
When I stepped over the first chalk line, I felt suddenly as though I was coming out of myself. Before that, I had been scattered in the thin body of a little girl, crammed between the intestines, the arteries, and the lungs, twisted around the spine's marrow, sunk into the fingers and the thighs. Now I was leaking out through a craggy surfaced tunnel, elastic and gelatinous. The tunnel's walls were rushing backward at infinite speed. I felt far-reaching and pure. Hurtling head-first out of the tunnel, ectoplasmic and gleaming with happiness, I forged through the night on a trail as wide as the distance between stars. Having arrived at a barrier -which was inside me rather than out- I saw a fantastic aurora approaching me from the unthinkable places on the other side, in which every gleam was a world, in which every point of light was a god.
However, I couldn't go beyond the barrier ("not yet" I heard a voice within me), and I turned back. I was again among my girlfriends, in my aunt's courtyard under the summer's opulent skies. I didn't recover till evening.
Certainly, I was tempted to find out what had actually happened, what the other girls saw, how I looked at each age (I am certain that between the third and fourth lines I looked as I do now), and especially I wanted to know the end. But I knew that no one would tell me. That was the rule of the game."
