In a funny yet poignant way, Sylvia McNicoll explores the stereotypes of youth and age. Throw in a bit of sleuthing and you have a fast-paced, very engaging book that will leave readers, of whatever age, thinking! * Gillian Chan, author of The Disappearance and An Ocean Apart *
A poignant story with humour and heart, McNicoll breathes new life into the proverb: walk a mile in someone's shoes. Body Swap is a must-read! * Mahtab Narsimhan, author of The Tiffin *
This is another wonderfully written book by Sylvia McNicoll. I think it will challenge the thinking of tweens, teen, and even retirees. It is very well written and a great new spin on an old type of story. McNicoll executes masterfully in telling this story. * Book Reviews and More *
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes YA fiction and enjoyed the Freaky Friday movie. * Breakeven Books blog *
Entertaining and enlightening, Body Swap shows how an unlikely pair can bridge generations to take on some of life's biggest challenges - such as mortality, corporate greed and, of course, first kisses. A fun read! * Vicki Grant, award-winning author of 36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You *
