The book I chose for independent reading is called The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson. I’m only a little over 20 pages in, and I already love it. It’s told from Jenna’s point of view, who is a 17-year-old girl that just woke up from a year long coma and remembers nothing. She has to relearn how to walk, talk, simple things like that which she does within the first couple days. But she doesn’t remember anything about herself. So, as the reader, your kind of left in the dark. I love it. I’m so curious to see what happens, especially with a mysterious character like Lily, who is her grandma. I don’t typically think of grandmas as being mean, rude, and so cold towards their granddaughters, but that’s pretty much how Lily acts towards Jenna. It’s also very curious that her parents moved away from their jobs in Boston to California, and when Jenna asks her mom, she describes her answer as “practiced.” She also said, “There was something about her eyes. Eyes don’t breathe. I know that much. But hers look breathless.” I LOVE this line, and I’m very curious to read what happens next.
