"Airhead", Meg Cabot (Young Adult-Fantasy)

Meg Cabot has written several young adult series, including the "Princess Diaries" and "Avalon High".  "Airhead" is the first of a new series where an average, although intelligent, girl saves her sister from a tragic accident, but sustains fatal injuries in the process.  A few feet from her dying body, a teen supermodel suffers from a brain injury and dies.  Before anyone realizes that these girls are dead or dying, they are wisked away for a super-secret procedure where the average girl's brain is transplanted into the supermodel's body.  Naturally, given the amount of money involved and invested in the model, no one can know what happened.  Emerson must now live life as though she was Nikki, although she realizes everything is not perfect in Nikki's world either! 

Overall, this is a cute story and very entertaining.  I'd recommend this for middle or early high school readers.  If it means anything, I'm curious to see what happens in "Becoming Nikki", the second book in the series.
