Flip

"Flip" by Martyn Bedford
Hardcover: 272 pages
Published: Wendy Lamb Books (April 5, 2011)

Book Description:
One December night, 14-year-old Alex goes to  bed. He wakes up to  find himself in the wrong bedroom, in an unfamiliar house, in a different part of the country, and it's the middle of June. Six months have disappeared overnight. The family at the breakfast table are total strangers.And when he looks in the mirror, another boy's face stares back at him.  A boy named Flip. Unless Alex finds out what's happened and how to get back to his own life,  he may be trapped forever inside a body that belongs to someone else.  Questions of identity, the will to survive, and what you're willing to sacrifice to be alive make this extraordinary book impossible to put down.

This was a surprisingly good book to read.  I really like that it was different from other books and ideas that are so common right now.  This book is a fast read and is hard to put down like the description indicates.  This book is about guys mostly, so right away different from most books I read.  Not to say I don't read all kinds, but commonly the books I read are written with girls in mind.  This book will appeal to both.
