J-Recommended for junior high school students. Readers will laugh at Blacker's characters, complications, and comedic chaos in this lighthearted look at the war between the sexes. However, when "Samantha" not only infiltrates the girls, but becomes wildly popular, he has no desire to go back to being Sam.īlacker uses gender bending to explore the dynamics between adolescents of both sexes and shows his readers that walking in the other guy's, or gal's, shoes is one of the best ways to understand each other. So, the deal is, if Sam goes to school dressed as a girl for five days and infiltrates the gang of girls who are creating trouble with Matt and his gang, then Sam is accepted, is in, is one of the guys. And since Sam has long blonde hair and no one knows him, he could be the perfect undercover spy. Of course, if there was a way to get across enemy lines and find out what they were cooking up, things could get pretty interesting. To complicate matters, Matt and his Shed gang are at war with a group of girls.
But now, Sam is going to be attending school at Bradbury Hill with Matt and his pals, and he's not exactly like any of them. It's bad enough that Sam is from California and his mother Galaxy was a bit different, to say the least. Twelve-year-old Matthew Burton's life is turned upside down when his cousin Sam from America comes to live with his family in England after Sam's mother is killed in a car crash.
