Flip - Softcover
Fourteen-year-old Alex Gray wakes up one morning to discover he's not in his own bedroom. More surprising is that he doesn't recognize his hands, or his legs... When he looks in the mirror he gets the shock of his life! How is it possible that Alex has become another boy – a boy who everyone calls Philip? And how have six whole months passed overnight? A riveting psychological thriller by a brilliant new voice in children's books.

Review:
Bedford's taut style and psychological insight make Flip a gripping thriller. --The Times
It s a well-worn cliché that teenagers sometimes feel they're in someone else's body, and Bedford has followed this idea to its logical conclusion in his tale of a lad called Alex, who ends up in the body of a boy called Flip, whose parents give new meaning to the phrase dysfunctional family. It's an unusual idea and Bedford, a former sub-editor with The Oxford Times who has five adult novels under his belt, has executed it with consummate skill in his first book for young adults. --The Oxford Times
...a brilliant, engrossing, thought provoking, psychological thriller that was impossible to put down. The key to the novel's ability to enthral lies in the way in which the author has somehow managed to identify the teenage psyche and capture the voice of one with shocking realism. --www.thebookbag.co.uk
