After reading Blake Nelson's book Rockstar Superstar, I went looking for more of his stuff at the library. This book Gender Blender was the first one I found so I picked it up and read it.

Overall, not really as good as my previous read. The writing itself is good, same style as he wrote in Rockstar. The story itself, I think is what made it not as good.

Gender Blender is basically another one of those body switch stories this one told from the perspective of two 6th graders (a boy and a girl) who wind up switching bodies and how they deal with and how they figure out how to switch back. This type of story has been done over and over again in so many different ways. It really makes me wonder why Nelson would have wrote a story on this sort of subject matter unless he really thinks that people are not tired of this subject.

I am.
