Noggin by John Corey Whaley

At just sixteen years old, Travis died. Now he's back, but it is five years later and his head is attached to another person's body. Travis must learn to live in a world that has seemingly left him behind. Instead of experiencing college with his best friend, Travis is stuck in high school with the same teachers he despised years earlier. Perhaps the most difficult change for Travis is the fact that his girlfriend is no engaged to be married to someone else.

Part science fiction, this is a true coming of age tale sure to resonate with teens feeling uncomfortable in their own skin. You will laugh, cry, cringe, and cheer!
