“The author of the award-winning My Brother is a Superhero is back with another read-me title. It’s a thriller with a decent dollop of metaphysics. Luke and his brother have switched bodies by mistake: Zack has Luke’s odd feet and Luke has Zack’s superpowers. A family mini-break at Great Minds Leisure Park, lair of his enemy, is Luke’s opportunity to test them.” -The Times
