Airhead by Meg Cabot

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Emerson Watts secretly despises the "walking dead" at her private school. That is the name she and her boyfriend Christopher have given to the girls who rule at her high school. She and Christopher like to spend their time playing video games. Everything changes, however, when Em takes her younger sister to a grand opening at the new Stark megastore and through a freak accident is hit on the head with the giant jumbotron falling from the ceiling. Science has apparently advanced at this point in time to be able to do brain transplants, because that is what happens to the brain of Em Watts after the accident. Her brain is put into the body of supermodel Nikki Howard, who by some twist of fate is injured and declared brain dead during the same accident. I have to say that once I got past the improbability of the whole brain transplant idea, I quite enjoyed the story. Meg Cabot is great at capturing teenage dialogue and making her characters quite believable.
