Even though Tad started off unlikeable, he changed for the better as he spent more time in Bob's shoes (literally). The character development was well done in the sense that it was believable and gradual. In the meantime, the way their lives eventually intersected once more was interesting. Several other characters were mildly fleshed out so no one was really wholly "good" or "bad". The ending wasn't exactly expected but it was fitting for the story.

I often bemoan that there were not good books written for young adults when I was one. This book proves me wrong on that.

The simplest explanation of the plot would be to call it a retelling of the Prince and the Pauper plot. Only instead of physically exchanging places with each other the characters manage to perform a bit of Freaky Friday magic on themselves and teleport their souls into each other's bodies. A simple enough plot that is complicated by the intelligence of one of the boys participating (unwittingly) in the exchange. What follows the Switch is a series of plots that thrust both boys into hitherto unknown territory, which they manage to navigate relatively unscathed, at east mentally.

Rich and strange (and kitted out with an eye-catching cover), but stronger in the set pieces than the internal logic. This story was so much more than I thought it was going to be! I thought it would be your regular "Freaky Friday" body-swap thing with the pathetic rich kid having to learn how to live without his precious wealth. But wow! I was completely surprised at the turn the plot took, and the intricacies of the story. Even the smallest details took on a major significance as the truth behind Tad's wealthy family is exposed. For a long minute the two boys stared at each other; Bob Snarby in Tad’s body and Tad Spencer in Bob’s body. At last Tad spoke. The hype surrounding what%E2%80%99s being billed as the first pastiche ever officially approved by the Conan Doyle estate is amply justified in this authentic, if melancholy, recreation of the Continue reading »Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2011-12-01 23:06:47 Bookplateleaf 0004 Boxid IA174701 Boxid_2 CH120201 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City New York Donor urn:lcp:switch00horo:epub:ffd8b75e-e742-4c43-9821-3e94e77eed2e Extramarc University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (PZ) Foldoutcount 0 Identifier switch00horo Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t58d10f00 Isbn 9780399250620 Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2020-12-09 18:30:34 Boxid IA40003407 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier I am glad I did. There are a lot of body swap stories and this one is a good one. It was enjoyable from start to finish. The subplots worked well too and were not tested on animals.
