Fifteen-year-old Treasa
Prescott thinks she’s an alien. She doesn’t fit in with the preppy South
African private school crowd and feels claustrophobic in her own skin. Treasa
is worried she might spend life as a social pariah when she meets Gabriel du
Preez. Gabriel plays the piano better than Beethoven, has a black belt in
karate, and would look good wearing a garbage bag. Treasa thinks he’s perfect.
It might even be love, as long as Gabriel doesn’t find out she’s a freak.
As Treasa spends
time with Gabriel, she realizes she might not love him as much as she wants to
be him, and that the reason she feels uncomfortable in her skin might have less
to do with extra-terrestrial origins and more to do with being born in the
wrong body.
