Switched by Amanda Hocking

When Wendy Everly was six-years-old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. It isn't until eleven years later that Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. With the help of Finn Holmes, Wendy finds herself in a world she never knew existed - a world both beautiful and frightening, and Wendy's not sure she wants to be a part of it.

The Tune: My Best Theory by Jimmy Eat World

The Lyrics:
It's been a long time, so long
There's only one life I know (I know)
But I have my own mind
I'll say so if it seems right

(Hey rush out)

I see your warm face with the soft mouth
But it speaks something else (else)
I'll take my chances with the cast down
We can feel the air

Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they've been preaching
My best theory is already in me
(already in me) In me

(We can feel, we can feel the air
Rush out)

So many questions
And the answers come back unanswered
(unanswered anekatips)
Let's hold the old script
It's a new twist
You can feel the air

Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they've been preaching
My best theory is already in me
(already in me)

In a lonely real place
Neither part nor mistake
Not what you had with your time

My doubt seems fine, my true desire
My threat, my appetite

My true desire

I feel the air!

Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up and escape and breach it
My best theory is already in me
Rush , out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they've been preaching
My best theory is already in me
(In me)


I choose this song for several reasons. Right now in the novel, I'm at the point where Wendy is asking herself The Big Question. And she's searching her soul and everywhere in between for the answer. But even she is beginning to understand that her answer is going to have to come from within. The lyric "so many questions and the answers come back unanswered" really works for her perspective right now. At this point in the story, this song works perfectly!
