Summer of being a younger brother

Genre: YA / Body Swap / Light Sci-Fi / Coming-of-Age

Sixteen-year-old Luke is a quiet gamer, more comfortable behind a screen than in the real world. When his mom signs him up for a summer gaming camp in New York, he's not thrilled-but it beats tagging along with his best friend Ryan's ultra-athletic family on their annual beach and adventure trip.

Especially not with Ryan's younger brother Olly. Eight years old, golden-haired, and obnoxiously talented, Olly is the kind of kid who wins everything and makes sure you know it. He treats Luke like background noise-and Luke is more than happy to avoid him.

Until he wakes up in Olly's body.

Without warning, Luke finds himself crammed in the back of an SUV, wearing a tank top, too-short shorts, and someone else's skin. Sitting beside him is an older, buffer version of Ryan-grinning like he just pulled off the prank of the century.

Ryan reveals the truth: he used experimental tech to swap Luke and Olly. Now, Luke has to live out the summer as Ryan's annoying little brother, while Ryan enjoys a break from babysitting. Stuck in a world of beach runs, martial arts lessons, and high expectations, Luke must fake confidence, bluff his way through family bonding, and survive being the center of attention-all in a body that isn't his.

Worse, no one suspects a thing.

Blending humor, identity confusion, and a slow-burn sense of unease, The Summer Swap is a sharp, strange, and slightly surreal YA story about what happens when you're forced to live as someone else-and what it reveals about who you really are.
