She, Myself, and I.

Gr 10 Up—Rosa is the first recipient of a full-body transplant: her brain in another girl's body. And while she's recovering, she can't help but wonder about her donor Sylvia This book's premise centers around the problematic "Miracle Cure" trope, in which a person with a disability is miraculously healed. Readers see very little of Rosa before her transplant (is the life of a quadriplegic teenager uninteresting?), and her physical recovery is similarly given short shrift in the text. While the psychological exploration of mind/body dualism proposed by the narrative could have been intriguing, instead, Rosa goes on a totally predictable road trip with a cute boy. Because of the lack of exploration of the life of a person with severe mobility impairment, the explicit disdain for ideas of medical ethics, and the clichéd YA romance, this is a book to pass on.
