Imitation Me is a about a boy named Trent who although doing well at school he hates it. The school is not helping him reach his potential and he draws a lot in class instead of listening to the mundane lessons. There are two classes he does like FCS and Athletics. He enjoys art but his teacher just gives the class printed pictures to colour in.

Christmas is on it's way and people keep hinting about an big reveal and this intrigues Trent but nothing in his wildest dreams prepares him for his present, an imitation of himself.

This was a great book, it is very different from anything I have every read before, the plot line was good although a little slow to start. I liked that there was also a love interest for Trent. The story did seem a little rushed at the end and I found myself wanting more. I hope there will be more books about Trent and his imitation.

The book was well written, fun with great characters that you can relate to. ( )

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Trent strongly dislikes high school. So much so, that he spends his school days not paying attention, doodling or sketching. Every morning he grudgingly get up to begin his “day in Hell”. He never studies, yet his lowest grade is a B . Extremely smart yes, his favorite teachers are those that are free spirited and do not believe in conformity. Little did he know that they were watching and preparing. Preparing for what you ask? You’ll see.

This novel took me completely by surprised. It starts out showing us what a regular day for Trent is like, how he’s able to excel in his classes with little or no effort. He’s bored, as are many smart children, he needs to be challenged and have an outlet for his creativity. He’s counting down the days for Christmas break, a reprieve from monotony. Christmas day finally arrives and Trent receives more than he’d bargained for when he’s recipient of the best gift ever. The author creates a character many of us can relate with, with a family dynamic that is amazing. I think my favorite character in the book was Maddox. Although he was older than Trent, he treated him as an equal. All I can say is the outcome is so creative, I loved it!
