Why I like this book: "Adoration of Jenna Fox" was a stretch for me. I am usually not into science fiction/fantasy. Mrs. McAdams suggested that this would be a good book for me to read. You quickly get a feeling for Jenna. That things are not right - but it takes a while to figure out what is wrong in this young lady's life. As the story unfolds you are faced with many decisions that have been made - could they be decisions that many of us will have to face in the future? Hannah Yermasek was really excited about this book. She has already been able to do a "book chat" - way to go Hannah!

Summary . . . .
Who is Jenna Fox? Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a coma, they tell her, and she is still recovering from a terrible accident in which she was involved a year ago. But what happened before that? Jenna doesn't remember her life. Or does she? And are the memories really hers?This fascinating novel represents a stunning new direction for acclaimed author Mary Pearson. Set in a near future America, it takes readers on an unforgettable journey through questions of bio-medical ethics and the nature of humanity. Mary Pearson's vividly drawn characters and masterful writing soar to a new level of sophistication.
