Em Watts is a brainy, t-shirt and jeans wearing, video game-loving seventeen year old girl. She has little interest in the latest trends, preferring to spend her spare time gaming with her best friend, Christopher – the boy she secretly has a crush on. All this changes when a freak accident causes Em’s brain to wind up in supermodel Nikki Howard’s body. To all except her immediate family Em Watts is dead. Now instead of studying and gaming, Em is busy modeling for magazine covers and signing autographs as Nikki Howard. She has all the clothes, shoes, and accessories a girl could want but she no longer has Christopher in her life. She can’t disclose her secret so her only choice is to convince Christopher that Nikki Howard is not just another pretty Airhead.
