Airhead, by Meg Cabot

Airhead, by Meg Cabot, is a book about a girl named Emerson Watts (Em for short). She was never one of the popular kids and was always teased by them. She had an annoying little sister and was in love with her best friend. She was just the average girl. That was, until something terrible happened. One day she woke up in the hospital not feeling like herself. I mean REALLY not feeling like herself. She was literally in someone else's body. But not just anybody's body, she was in Nikki Howard's body. Nikki Howard, the teenaged supermodel, the "face" of the multimillion dollar company, Stark Industries. Not able to speak about who she really is or even talk to her family or best friend in public made life even more complicated in addition to modeling, interviews, paparazzi, and dealing with Nikki Howard's crazy best friend, boyfriend, and many secret lovers. Many mysteries and secrets are hidden in the mysterious world of Nikki Howard and now Em has to deal with all of that. Being in Nikki Howard's body makes Em realize that being famous isn't all it's cut out to be.

This book is all about secrets of the mysterious world of entertainment and modeling that all girls want to be a part of someday. I highly recommend this book to girls of all ages. This book also includes a little bit of science fiction, which makes it even more interesting. It's a wonderful romance and mystery!

This book is about a girl that always had the brains but was always a tom boy. Her life changed when she went to a grand opening with her sister. There was a famous model there, Nikki Howard. That day an unfortunate event happened. A big plasma TV fell on Emmerson and something happened to Nikki. Emmerson ends up waking up in Nikki's body and she is terrified, because she does not know what is going on and nobody is telling her. Out of nowhere she is surrounded with a life style of a celebrity. She does not know how to deal with it. What will eventually happen?

This is a great book, because it makes you think if this kind of a brain transplant would be possible. I think it would be so cool if I woke up in a body of some model or actress. It would be like a way new experience. I would have to adjust to the life and schedule of a totally different person. I would also have to learn how to deal with all that. I find that very interesting and challenging. I highly recommend this book, because once you start reading it, you will not be able to stop until you find out what happens at the end.
