Hilarious! Seriously, truly, fearlessly funny. And I don’t want guys to miss it.” —Jon Scieszka, the first National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, founder of the Guys Read literacy initiative, and NY Times Bestselling author of The Stinky Cheese Man “The book is heartbreaking and hilarious—truly evocative of middle school experiences. A great, entertaining read that will appeal to boys and girls. A highly recommended purchase.”—School Library Journal“Bravo, Megan Shull! Hilarious and yet surprisingly touching at the same time, The Swap gives us a microscopically close insider’s view at the differences (and similarities) between the lives of boys and girls. I don’t know how Megan did it, but I’m really glad she did!” —Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls “Funny, honest and touching, The Swap is the perfect book for tweens ready to learn what’s going on inside the minds (and bodies) of the opposite gender. Jack and Ellie are such wonderful characters and those brothers-wow!” —Frances O'Rourk Dowell, New York Times bestselling author of Dovey Coe and The Secret Language of Girls “The internal lives of both boy and girl come across as both authentic and heartwarming… Readers curious about how the other half lives will thrill at this view from the far side of the fence.” —Kirkus Reviews Autumn 2014 Kids’ Indie Next List selection—”Inspired Recommendations for Kids from Indie Booksellers”2015 Bank Street Center for Children’s Literature Best Children’s Books of the Year ListSay hey at heymegan.com and on Twitter @meganshull
