Body Swap by Sylvia Mcnicoll
When a faulty accelerator causes eighty-two-year-old Susan hits fifteen-year-old Hallie with her SUV, they return from the dead in each others bodies, seeking justice and another chance.
A poignant story with humour and heart, McNicoll breathes new life into the proverb: walk a mile in someone's shoesBody Swap is a must-read! * Mahtab Narsimhan, author of The Tiffin *
In a funny yet poignant way, Sylvia McNicoll explores the stereotypes of youth and age. Throw in a bit of sleuthing and you have a fast-paced, very engaging book that will leave readers, of whatever age, thinking! * Gillian Chan, author of The Disappearance and An Ocean Apart *
Entertaining and enlightening, Body Swap shows how an unlikely pair can bridge generations to take on some of life’s biggest challenges — such as mortality, corporate greed and, of course, first kisses. A fun read! * Vicki Grant, award-winning author of 36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You *
The lessons learned and empathy shown by both characters prove very instructive for the YA reader. * Resource Links *
a soul-switching novel which features a 15-year-old girl and an 82-year-old woman who swap souls following an auto accident * Hamilton Spectator *
This is another wonderfully written book by Sylvia McNicoll. I think it will challenge the thinking of tweens, teen, and even retirees. It is very well written and a great new spin on an old type of story. McNicoll executes masterfully in telling this story. * Book Reviews and More *
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes YA fiction and enjoyed the Freaky Friday movie. * Breakeven Books blog *
