Synopsis of AIRHEAD
Emerson Watts was a plain, computer fanatic geek with a little sister called Frida, who is 14. Em, however, is brutally injured at the Stark Mega-store Grand Opening when a giant plasma screen falls on her. This happens whilst she is trying to save Frida from the same fate.

Luckily, Em survives but she notices different things about her. It turns out that she had had her brain transplanted into the boy of Super Model Nikki Howard, who had fainted during Em's accident. She realizes this when Nikki's best friend, Lulu Collins, and her On-again Off-again boyfriend, Brandon Stark "Kidnap" her from her hospital room.

Em is shocked when she finds out Nikki is secretly cheating on Brandon Stark with Lulu's boyfriend Justin Bay. Em finally gets back to the hospital, but leaves soon after as she is recovered. Lulu decides to take Em (Thinking Em and Nikki have had "Spirit Transfers") to a nightclub called "Cave". There Em pours her water over Justin Bay's head as a symbol of rejection. Then Em decided to go home as she had school the next day.

Em finds her old best friend, Christopher Malone (Who thinks Em's dead) and talks to him, asking if he can help her put up a school email account, so she could spend more time with him. So she goes to an Apple store to buy a new laptop because her laptop was being bugged by Nikki's employer, Robert Stark. She meets Gabriel Luna (A British singer who first met Em at the Stark Mega Store Grand Opening moments before she was crushed, and also visited Em in her hospital room but he thought she was Nikki) and they talk. Gabriel kisses Em with a brush of the lips, and leaves.

Em goes back to school and meets Christopher, but is distraught when she leaves because Christopher is too busy mourning after the past Em to fall for the new Em. When Em arrives home (The loft, Nikki's apartment which she shares with Lulu) she starts complaining to Lulu about Christopher, Gabriel Luna fancying her and the bugged laptops.

The book ends with Em and Lulu at Em's old home and where her parents and Frida live with a pizza.
