By Peter Dickinson (219 pp)
This book was written in 1988 when my mom was still a school librarian. She wanted me to read it and I thought it was fantastic. It's about a teenaged girl who is in a terrible accident and her consciousness is transplanted into a chimpanzee. All these years later I still think about this book and I wondered if it would hold up. I bought a cheap paperback and, yes. It holds up. There is so much going on in this book with corporations, the environment, rebellious teenagers, animal welfare. Very highly recommend.
