When 15-year-old Amy wakes up in a hospital bed, terribly injured from a dive onto hidden rocks in a quarry, her shattered body is not the worst of her troubles. The worst of it is the fact that the body isn't her own. An over-achiever from a wealthy Toronto family, Amy has somehow ended up in the body of Krystal, a troubled girl from North-End Kingston. No one, of course, believes what Amy says. Amy's drive and determination help her to build a new life, but all she really wants is to find her way back to the one she once had. Or does she?

16 year old Amy's last memory of her life as Amy is when, surrounded by friends from school, she dives off a cliff into a water filled quarry and hits her head on a rock. When she regains consciousness in the hosptal, everyone is calling her Krystal, and she figures out that she has been hit by a truck and suffered severe damage to her body. During her long and painful recovery she pieces together information about Krystal's life, and discovers that Krystal has a mom who ran off and abandoned her, grandparents who don't trust her, that she has a loyal male friend named Raymond, nicknamed Loki and that she has horrific marks in school. Amy, who can't stand the idea of being called Krystal, asks that people start calling her Mia, and sets out on a course to get her body back in rowing shape, fix her marks in school so she can get a scholarship, and somehow contact her real family.
This is a well told tale which seemed to have stronger character development than some of the other, recent books I've read on the same topic. I also liked the ending, which was not what I expected, but I don't want to spoil anything by talking about it here. ( )
