Description
A fatal collision — who’s to blame? Two bodies, two souls switch in search of justice.
When fifteen-year-old Hallie gets knocked flying by a Hurricane SUV, her life ends without her ever having kissed a boy. At an otherworldly carnival, she meets and argues with the eighty-two-year-old driver, Susan. Both return to life, only with one catch — they’ve swapped bodies.
Now Hallie has wrinkled skin and achy joints while Susan deals with a forehead zit and a crush on a guy who’s a player. Hallie faces a life in a long-term care residence. Susan gets picked up for shoplifting.
As they struggle with technology, medications, and each other’s fashion foibles, they start to understand and maybe even like each other. But can they work together to prove that a defect in the Hurricane caused the deadly crash? Or will their time run out?
Advance Praise
A poignant story with humour and heart, McNicoll breathes new life into
the proverb: walk a mile in someone's shoes. Body 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
