The Adoration of Jenna Fox

The Adoration of Jenna Fox, written by Mary E. Pearson

This is a novel set in the future, and is based on a teen girl who goes through an astounding transformation. Jenna Fox was in a (what should have been) fatal car accident. Her body was so badly burned and none of the doctors thought she would live, and yet somehow she does through the work of her father. As Jenna tries to fit into a new community, and a new body, she discovers things that make even herself cringe. Jenna learns who and what she really is, and attemps to bring awareness to those closest to her.

I read this book for the teen book club, but was unable to make the meeting. I also enjoy the style in which Mary E. Pearson writes, and have read a few of her other novels.

This was such a fast read, not just because it was somewhat short, but because the reader can connect with the characters in one way or another. I never wanted to put it down because I needed to know what would happen next.

I would give this book to any teenage, because it is a good book that has suspence, romance, it's a bit sci-fi ish, and it has a little something for everyone.

**** Really Liked it
