New 5 Star Reviews of Trading Places by Ann Herrick

"Ann Herrick’s young adult novel "Trading Faces" is a fun read that explores an old idea of wanting to be someone else. This universal theme of switching places takes a fresh turn when romance is introduced and Darcy and Cybil realize that what they wanted was right in front of them the whole time. Good read!" ~ 5 Stars, Lisa McCombs, Readers Favorite

"This is a great story about two girls that are forced into growing into who they really are because they now have gotten a whole new life perspective. The grass isn't always greener on the other side and sometime you have everything you needed you just had to grab for it, make it a priority and express how you feel.

Trading Faces take the normal body swap story...adds a totally new aspect by using teen girls and all their issues...then builds in relatable situations and characters to make a wonder teen adventure. Immensely enjoyable read! I know this story would be perfect for my 14 yr old daughter." ~ 5 Stars, Beth H., Amazon Reader

An "Ugly Betty" and a Popular Beauty wind up trading faces—and lives—and the situation is not what either one expected! 
 
When 15-year-old Darcy Doane wakes up as Cybil Sheffield, she is thrilled. Cybil is everything Darcy has ever wanted to be. Pretty. Popular. Only… all the attention isn’t exactly what Darcy expected. Especially when her own brother, Joey, is crushing on her. Gross.

Cybil is shocked when she looks in the mirror and sees a face she totally doesn’t recognize.  She thought not always being the center of attention might be a good thing, but being invisible is hardly bearable. Even her boyfriend, Devon, looks right through her! How can she survive when the only people (except a family of strangers) who even know she's alive are three dipsticks she can't remember ever seeing before?
 
With the school play and an A-List party coming up, Darcy and Cybil have a lot to work out. There’s a learning curve for both of them, especially after they are caught fighting at school and forced by the principal to help her at a Return-to-Work project for displaced women.

 Trouble is, how do they get their own lives back?
