Amy by Any Other Name

It’s not like being a teenager is all that easy to begin with. But when 15-year-old Amy wakes up in a hospital bed, terribly injured from a dive onto hidden rocks in a quarry, she must contend with something unbelievable. True, her body has been shattered, but that’s not the worst of her troubles — the body she’s in is not her own! An athletic and academic overachiever from a wealthy Toronto family, Amy has somehow ended up in the body of Krystal, a troubled girl from North-End Kingston. Of course, no one believes what Amy says. Her mother in Toronto rejects her calls and threatens action, while whoever is now in Amy’s body remains silent and unreachable. Amy’s drive and determination help her build a new life, but all she really wants is to find her way back to the one she once had. Or does she? Amy by Any Other Name is an unusual and compelling novel about adolescence and identity — and about the human capacity to grow and change.
