Fourteen-year-old Laura knows that her younger brother is being preyed upon by an ominous being named Carmody Braque but neither her mother nor the medical establishment will believe her. Laura turns for help to a strange boy, Sorry Carlisle. She discovers that Sorry's mother and grandmother have supernatural powers and are willing to help Laura undergo a changeover, an inward journey of self-discovery to seek out her own latent strength and power so that she will be able to fight Carmody Braque and save her brother. Subtle parallels drawn between the changeover and puberty allow for interpretation of the book as a multi-layered coming of age story, as well as a problem novel, a romance and a fantasy. (Age 14 and older)

A brand-new edition of the Carnegie Medal-winning THE CHANGEOVER - written by internationally bestselling author, Margaret Mahy.

'A gorgeous, strange, unforgettable story . . . I more than loved it' Laini Taylor - author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone

'A clammy hand pressed Laura down onto her knees beside Jacko's bed. It was the hand of terror, nothing less.'

It was a warning. Laura felt it when she looked in the mirror that morning. There had been others: the day her father left home, the day she met Sorensen - the boy with the strange silver eyes.

But nothing had prepared Laura for the horror of today. And now her little brother, Jacko, was fighting for his life after being sucked dry of his youth by the sinister Carmody Braque.

Laura knows there is only one way to save Jacko; she must join Sorensen and use his supernatural powers to change over if there is to be any hope for her little brother.

An unforgettable, supernatural romance.
