When Justine finds herself virtually recreated as a boy thanks to some dodgy wizardry at the Virtual Reality Exhibition at Olympia, her horror turns to sheer curiosity as she realises that the opportunity to spend time on the male side of the fence is just too good to miss. The problems begin when the real Justine takes a bit of a shine to the virtual--not too mention totally horny-- male Justine.

Short listed for the 1995 Guardian Children's Fiction Award, this hilarious book is incredibly clever, taking mystical technology and putting it to good use in the hands of a rampant teenage girl. Full of good old-fashioned teenage preoccupations, each dealt with respectfully and honestly with a rip-roaring dose of humour, Virtual Sexual Reality manages to tackle teenage angst in an ironic and intelligent tone. An absolute scream from start to finish this is undoubtedly THE must-have accessory for any self-respecting teenager. --Susan Harrison
