Kate Gilmore is the author of several novels for young readers. Her research for The Exchange Student did not involve interplanetary travel, but she did visit primate houses and zoos in many cities and talked with scientists about binturongs and fennec foxes.
Grade 7-12-- A quirky YA novel that sparkles with a sense of humor, graceful style, fully drawn setting, and rich characters. It chronicles how Bren copes with his parents' separation, his first love, his responsibilities in the school play, and his yearning for a normal, uneventful life. Beyond the array of these typical teenage trials is the plot's pivotal twist: Bren's mother is a practicing witch who insists on summoning him at the moment of his first kiss, providing special effects for the school's production of Macbeth , and meddling in his life with powers beyond those of an ordinary interfering mother. The denouement, in which the ordinary meshes with the supernatural, lapses into silliness, but, on the whole, this is an entertaining and magical story. --Doris A. Fong, Benson Polytechnic High School, Portland, OR
