Flip by Martyn Bedford –ADVISABLE

Bedford, Martyn Flip, 272 pgs. Wendy Lamb Books, 2011. $11.55. Language-PG (Swear Count: 0); Violence-PG; Sexual Content-PG13; Mention of drug use).
14yo Alex wakes up one morning to an incredibly scary situation, he finds himself in some else’s body! At first Alex doesn’t know what to do, and stumbles through as best he can -by pretending to be this boy, Phillip, and mostly just messing up a lot. When Alex begins to research and try to figure out what is going on, he discovers that time is running out. Can Alex get his old life back?
I could not put this book down! The plot was interesting and full of vibrant characters, not to mention being downright chilling. The writing was wonderful –featuring authentic emotions and actions. I think that students will relate the main character and be intrigued by the concept.
