Well to be honest, I picked up this book off the shelf and thought, "Hey, another one of those books Michael Levin wrote. Needless to say, if you have read Janine and Alex, Alex and Janine it is not as good. It is from a girls point of view I am saying this though. The book is about Derek, a runaway and Sam, a prepschool guy that meet and decide to trade places. The story takes many twists and turns and keeps you involved. I thought it was okay. I would recommend it if you like teen novels.

I recommend this book for people to read because I thought it was a great book to read. I liked reading this book because of the interesting things that happened. This book was about two boys named Derek and Sam, who meet each other at a bus station in New York City. The thing that was the most exciting was that both boys looked exaclty alike and they have never met each other in the whole entire life. They thought it would be fun to switch lives. Sam was going to get on a bus to get to his new prep school and Derek was getting on a bus to go to Las Vegas. Both boys switched bus tickets and were off to their new lives for now on.
I liked reading this book because it was fun to read. It was interesting to read because I found some funny things in it. My favorite part of the book was when both boys switched their bus tickets to go live the other ones life. I learned that even though Sam didnt know anything about Derek's life or Derek not knowing anything about Sam's life, that they were able to find out how they lived. Sam found out how Derek lived on the road and Derek learned how hard it was for Sam to live his life in prep school. I liked reading this book becasue i found it fun to read.

This is a boys version of Janine and Alex, Alex and Janine. It's the usual Prince And The Pauper thing. It's poorly written and too predictable. (J and A, A and J is too but it's more modern and and interesting.)
