<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"When thirteen-year-olds Marcus, a supernatural matchmaker, and Lena Perris, a soul collector, kiss at a party on a dare, they soon realize their powers have swapped. Now logical-minded Lena finds herself with the love touch, and ultra-emotional Marcus has death at his fingertips--and setting things right has become a matter of love and death"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Marcus is a Cupid. Lena is a Reaper. Opposites attract in the exciting new Switched At First Kiss series by the acclaimed author of <em>The Dirt Diary</em>.</strong></p><p>Dared to kiss the adorkable Marcus Torelli at a party, Lena thinks it's the perfect opportunity to cross First Kiss off her list of "Things to Accomplish Before I Turn Fourteen."</p><p> It's only when she gets sent on an assignment the next day she realizes something went horribly wrong. That ZING she felt wasn't the thrill of her first kiss--she and Marcus have swapped powers! Lena is not your average eighth grader, she's a soul collector with an serious job to do. And Marcus turns out to be a supernatural matchmaker (like cupid, but without the diaper).</p><p>Now logical Lena finds herself with the love touch, and sweet, sentimental Marcus has death at his fingertips. The truth is that Lena should never have taken that dare...because one little kiss has Lena and Marcus in a whole lotta trouble.</p><p><strong>Praise for Anna Staniszewski's <em>The Dirt Diary</em>: <br></strong>"Holy fried onion rings! Fun from beginning to end."--Wendy Mass, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>11 Birthdays</em> and <em>The Candymakers<br></em>"I LOVED it...sweet, sensitive, and delicious!"--Erin Dionne, author of Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As always, Staniszewski provides a deft mix of comedy and sensitive, deeper themes, making her book not only entertaining, but one that offers wisdom. She knows where to mine the humor from middle school life but does not sacrifice her characterizations for easy laughs. Light-but not lightweight-fun for preteens." - <strong><em> Kirkus Reviews</em></strong><br><br>" A cute and mild love story with a dash of supernatural charm that dives a little deeper with its exploration of death and love." - <strong><em> School Library Journal</em></strong><br><br>"Lena is a reaper. When people are about to die, she touches them and sends them on their way. Marcus is a cupid. When he touches people, they fall in love. Lena and Marcus are both at the same eighth grade party when Connie pushes them into a closet and dares them to kiss. But this is no ordinary first kiss--it's electric, and now Lena is a cupid and Marcus is a reaper. What follows is chaos at its funniest. This is the start of a new series that promises to be great fun!" - <strong><em> Shelf Awareness</em></strong><br><br>"Staniszewski works tween humor very well, and if this is any indication, readers are in for a wild and hilarious ride from upcoming installments in the Switched at First Kiss series." - <strong><em> Booklist</em></strong><br><br>"The story is a cute twist on Freaky Friday and the trouble the two find themselves in is laughably funny. Though alternately heartbreaking and humorous, this is a great romance story for tweens and teens, who want something lighthearted, fun, and magical." - <strong><em> San Francisco Book Review</em></strong><br>
