Teaser Tuesdays -- Flip by Martyn Bedford

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB @ Should Be Reading. To participate, all you have to do is the following:

  • Grab your current/upcoming read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share 2-3 "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
  • Be careful not to include spoilers!

They mightn't have been brothers at all, their personalities were so dissimilar; but they were brothers, and Alex longed for Sam to turn round.  To look at him.  Just so he could see Sam's freckly face again.
~page 78-9, Trapped by Martyn Bedford

When 14-year-old Alex Gray wakes up in an unfamiliar bedroom, things quickly get stranger after he realizes he is not only in a stranger's bedroom, but in the same stranger's body.  Alex has to navigate being in Philip (Flip) Garamond's body and life while he struggles to learn what has happened to his own body and life.  I didn't love this one as much as I was expecting to, but it was interesting.  Think Freaky Friday set in England with potential consequences that are much more life-or-death.
