Switched by Amanda Hocking
Home Is Where The Heart Is!
Six
years after she was born her mother finally snapped. It was on her
birthday, it would have been his birthday, and that one thought finally
broke her mother. All these years her mothers true child had been
missing or worse and it was her fault. She should not have been there,
she didn't belong, she was an impostor and he was gone. But no one but
her mother saw her for what she really was, no one but her mother
believed in this crazy tale. At six years old she didn't believe it
either, not even when her mother went at her with a carving knife.
Eleven
years on and she is starting to question whether her crazy mother was
right, not about the stabbing thing though but about the monster thing. A
new boy at school has just shown up and what he knows about her is
enough for her to question her life. Giving up all she knows and the
only family that has ever loved her, her brother Matt not her mother who
tried to kill her, she runs away with this new boy, after knowing him
for only a day or two. Already she is willing to put her life in his
hands.
Switched is a changeling story that
substitutes trolls for faeries. This is a fairytale of a girl who never
belonged becoming a Princess who has fallen in love with her "knight in
shining armour". Although there are bad trolls after her, this is
predominantly a story of love. Almost from the first instant she has
been in love with her protector and for almost the entire book talked of
nothing but her feelings for him. This is definitely a story for the
romantics.
