2014 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST<br><br>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 <i>Where Things Come Back</i>.<br><br><I>Listen€"Travis Coates was alive once and then he wasn€t.</I><br><I>Now he€s alive again.</I><br><I>Simple as that.</I><br> <br>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.<br> <br>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.<br> <br>Oh well, you only live twice.
