Senior year bucket list? Switch bodies with your crush. Chi-Chi Ekeh has one huge problem: She keeps getting crushes on rich white boys who have no idea she exists. Enter Flip Henderson, the most popular boy at school, who opens Chi-Chi's private video proposal to go to senior prom in front of their entire class. But when Flip rejects Chi-Chi, what happens next is completely unexpected: Chi-Chi--shy nerd and scholarship student--switches bodies with Flip. Suddenly Chi-Chi is 6'1" and cool, while Flip gets a crash course on Chi-Chi's life--that is, k-pop, hair-braiding, and being a poor kid of color at a rich white private school. From the bestselling author of Check, Please! comes Flip, a thrilling and fantastical tale about self-acceptance, Black girlhood, and how walking a mile in someone else's shoes can help you finally see yourself. Fast, funny, and emotionally resonant, Flip! delivers: - a high-concept, body-swap premise with real emotional stakes- relatable teen struggles with identity and pressure
- heartfelt character growth beneath the comedy
- and a fresh, modern take on self-discovery
