Quick Summary
A teenager's worst nightmare becomes reality when he wakes up trapped in another boy's body with a mysterious countdown that could mean eternal separation from his true self, forcing him to navigate dangerous secrets while questioning who he really is. Kids will devour the heart-pounding race against time, the darkly funny moments of pretending to be someone else, and the gripping emotional journey of discovering what makes a person who they are. If your teen loves the intense survival mystery of The Maze Runner or the body-invasion themes of The Host, they'll be hooked on this darker, grittier take on the body-switching premise.
