Travis Coates has a good head…on someone else’s shoulders. A touching, hilarious, and wholly original coming-of-age story from John Corey Whaley, author of the Printz and Morris Award–winning Where Things Come Back.Listen—Travis Coates was alive once and then he wasn’t.Now he’s alive again.Simple as that. The in between part is still a little fuzzy, but Travis can tell you that, at some point or another, his head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some other guy’s body, and well, here he is. Despite all logic, he’s still sixteen, but everything and everyone around him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his girlfriend. Or maybe she’s not his girlfriend anymore? That’s a bit fuzzy too. Looks like if the new Travis and the old Travis are ever going to find a way to exist together, there are going to be a few more scars. Oh well, you only live twice.

3.0 Noggin Book Review
I've been meaning to read Noggin for a while now, especially since it won an award. What a strange concept though. It definitely is not what I expected but I did read through it quickly and enjoyed the quirky characters. Travis had cancer and died. But five years later he wakes up with his head at...

Just another YA book, if you take aside the whole body-transplant. Too bad Travis spends more time moping on his (ex) girlfriend than having struggles accepting a new body (which he never does, anyway).

5.0 Phenomenal
This is probably one of the single most powerful books I have read in my entire life. It made me want to laugh, to cry, to shake Travis silly. It takes a lot for a book to impact me on that level, most of the books I have read and love didn't even come close to making me feel how this book did. Trav...
