Body Switch

Running time: N/A

Jonas is your typical sixteen year old. He likes basketball, a girl named Lina, and goofing around with his little sister. Then, one day, all that changes. An aging doctor comes calling on Jonas' coach with an offer to help improve his team's conditioning program. The doctor takes a special interest in Jonas. In fact, he insists on knowing every detail of Jonas' life, from his physical condition to his personal habits. What is on the doctor's mind; what does he find so fascinating about this boy? Is his interest professional or prurient? Perhaps it will help you to know that the doctor only has a short time to live. His body is dying and he desperately needs a new one. Jonas', he decides, would be perfect. Can the unwitting Jonas look forward to seeing his seventeenth birthday, or will the doctor's nefarious scheme succeed? With a deft hand and light touch, Body Switch keeps you guessing, and that's where all the fun lies. --John Porter
