You should be able to call `JSON.parse()` on the body passed into your function and `JSON.stringify()` on the object you return in your body. That will handle converting between a string and Javascript object.

Having said that, I noticed the [1.0.3](http://forum.serverless.com/t/release-1-0-3-of-serverless/610) release notes mentioned [Custom Status code for non-proxy APIG integration](https://github.com/serverless/serverless/releases) ([#2014](https://github.com/serverless/serverless/pull/2014)). I haven’t had a chance to look at this properly but upgrading to 1.0.3 might give you the functionality you need.
