Justine is given a fascinating opportunity to see life through the eyes of a boy when a visit to a Virtual Reality Exhibition traps her in an Alternative Reality as 'Jake'. Stereotypes are confirmed and misconceptions shattered - all within a narrative designed to appeal to young adults, liberally sprinkled with contemporary dialogue. A technicolour cover loudly proclaims the book's message and readers of both sexes will be as intrigued as their teachers and parents at their responses.
