YA
Fourteen-year-old Alex wakes up to find that six months have passed and he's inhabiting the body of a stranger, Philip. What's happened to Philip's soul? How can Alex get back into his own body? The story fairly races along, thanks to Bedford's prose and his deep, detailed realism. His sympathetic portrayal of Alex is by turns comic, touching, and suspenseful.
