Book Summary and Reviews of Out of Body by Nia Davenport

Media Reviews

"The examination of relevant teen themes of race, selfhood, and relationships plays out against the backdrop of an imaginatively developed landscape. In her YA debut, adult science fiction author Davenport deftly handles the body-switching plotline, keeping readers aware of who's who while delivering all too believable scares in a story that's a great choice for fans of Jordan Peele and Tiffany D. Jackson. Complex, entertaining, and thought provoking." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"LC's complex characterization and Megan's gradual empathy for her plight are rewarding and thoughtfully rendered. Davenport (the Blood Gift Duology, for adults) utilizes powerful social commentary surrounding agency and living as a Black teen in contemporary society coupled with Megan's burgeoning self-confidence and rapid pacing to keep the pages turning toward an open-ended yet gratifying conclusion." —Publishers Weekly
