Description
TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US &
Canada) - See all my reviews
Claire Martin is your average 15-year-old girl. She has her loving
mom (Dr. Martin) and her best friend, Beanie. She also has a big
crush on her fellow swimming buddy, Nate. And of course the ghost
of her deceased grandmother (Evelyn) who has been around since
Claire was a baby, even long before that. She probably doesn't
sound that average anymore, right?
Here's the real kicker: Claire is what she and her grandmother call
a "Switcher." Whenever a bad storm kicks up in Claire's little
beach town, she'll be pushed out of her own body in to another
girl's body. But only a girl who was born close to the same time
Claire was and that lives only around a mile or so away. So most of
the time Claire switches in to a visiting girl's body. Just someone
who is vacationing with her family. Overnight, Claire ends up back
in her own body and wakes up back to her old self.
But at one point (during the day even) a little bit of static
electricity sends Claire in to the body of a girl that her and her
friend Beanie saw just the other day on the beach. She was
obviously not a local from the looks of her, and she was watching
two little boys. She was a skinny little thing in a bikini that
barely covered her at all. She also seemed
like a complete B word to both Claire and Beanie. Of course, she
had all the attention from the guys, especially Nate. So when
Claire is zapped into this girl's body (her name is Larissa) she is
shocked, but at the same time a bit excited. She finally has a body
that she loves and is actually able to show it off without looking
ridiculous.
But when Claire wakes up the next morning she's still in Larissa's
body. And now she's stuck watching these two attention-starved boys
from basically dusk till dawn. But she has the attention of Nate
and she's not about to lose it. What could a few days in Larissa's
body hurt? Except for the fact that Larissa's soul is just floating
around, while Evelyn is hanging out in Claire's body for the time
being. Will Claire ever switch back to her own body? And the most
important thing: will she actually want to?
