If there is a genre called chick-lit, then this would be chickie-lit, light fiction for the late elementary, middle-school aged girl. I emphasize the word girl because I can't imagine a boy reading this book. Written by twins, it tells the somewhat true to life story of twins Payton and Emma

trading places in the early days of their adventures in their new middle school. They make the change not for mischief's sake, but because they both need some help -- Payton with being taking seriously and becoming a better student, and Emma with becoming more social and outgoing. Of course, their ruse is discovered in the end, consequences are handed out, and they both learn some lessons, not just about why they shouldn't deceive people, but how they have strengths they didn't know they had. I can't say I loved the book, and would like a middle school girl's opinion before I recommended it. Show Less
