A review by shirleytupperfreeman
Mixed Up by Gordon Korman

As with Restart, Korman writes a mind-melding story where two middle school boys, unknown to each other, start trading memories. Reef is mourning the death of his mom while living with his mom's best friend's family, one of whom intensely doesn't want Reef around. Theo loves plants more than people much to his outgoing father's chagrin. Both boys are unhappy in their own ways and then they each start having strange memory flash backs of things they are sure have not happened to them. Eventually they meet, their lives get more and more challenging as they lose more of their own memories and then come up with a scheme to set things right.
