Airhead

Airhead “Looks can be deceiving”
By: Luciana Paz

Airhead by Meg Cabot is a very interesting type of book that I never really imaged myself reading…I only have one word to describe this book—impressive. I loved the book it was very well written it completely got my attention they way Meg Cabot wrote it she connect it with the reader. I could easily say that this author is truly amazing.

The story takes place in the 21st Century in the city of New York. Em Watts—the main character—is not like any other girl; she doesn’t like Prada, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, she doesn’t like anything but school and her video games. Clearly you can already tell that Em Watts is a tom boy, she only hangs out with boys, well boy (Christopher how she secretly likes), completely ignores the rest of the girl the “wanna bes” (or the walking end like she calls them). Not including that her dad chose a boy’s name for her, Emerson.

The main problem occurs when Em’s little sister— who is madly in love with Nikki Howard and is becoming a walking dead—forces her to go to the new So-Ho Stark Megastore grand opening were she didn’t even want to go and had zero interest in meeting the newly appointed Face of Stark, teen supermodel sensation Nikki Haword. What Em had no idea about was that there was going to be a disaster, changing her—and life as she known it—forever? One bizarre accident later, and Em Watts, always the tom boy, never the party princess, is no longer herself. Literally.

I’m guessing that you want to know what happed exactly right? Well, when Em and her sister went to the grand opening a the huge plasma screen T.V fell on top Em and at the same time the supermodel sensation suffered from brain damage. Em wakes up in a hospital but as Nikki Haword (Brian transplant)! The only people who know about this is her family and no one else can find out. (Obviously that’s going to be hard because she is the most followed supermodel in the WORLD!) Em Watts now Nikki Haword has to act like Nikki and do her job or else her parents will have to pay 2 million dollars for the transplant plus fines. I don’t think she has an option so she has to live with it. But what Em’s pretty sure she’ll never be able to accept might just turn out to be the one thing that’s going to make her dreams come true…

At the end of the book Nikki (Em) can live with Nikki Howard’s life but at the same time she can also live with Em Watts life, in a different way. Also at the end it lives you hanging so that you can read the next book Being Nikki. Hopefully I can read the next one and find out what happens next. If you like a book that you can relate with and can help you with your own problems this is the write book for you. I would recommend this book to ONLY GIRLS from ages 12 and up.
