Dead Girl Walking: Dead Girl by Linda Joy Singleton

Dead Girl Walking is a cute, simple, fast read.

It is a bit like an episode of Quantum Leap or more like the idea behind it is similar. In the sense that the main character finds herself inside the body of another.

Amber gets to live the life of a thin, beautiful, popular , rich girl only to find out her life isn't as perfect as one would assume and soon finds herself wanting to return back to her own body and family.

This book is for a pretty young audience [8+ yrs] yet it keeps you interested. The sequel is due out in spring of 09'.

Grade: B
Synopsis
Linda Joy Singleton, author of the successful Seer books, returns with another hot paranormal series. Stars are waiting to be discovered, and high-school senior Amber Borden wants to be the talent agent for the adolescent A-list. She's not the richest or the most popular, but she's determined to make a name for herself. While Amber may be upwardly mobile, her sense of direction is lousy—so lousy that it has cosmic consequences. Instead of returning to her body after a near-death experience, she lands in the body of the wealthiest, most popular girl in school—who just tried to commit suicide. Not what she had in mind when she imagined working behind the scenes with the rich and famous! Amber soon figures out that being the queen bee isn't all it's cracked up to be.
