This clever author, Gabrielle Zevin, succeeds again with a fun book that hits the heart of teenage issues like family life, adoption, and love while also dealing with the unfortunate condition of amnesia. It’s full of references for music and literary enthusiasts as well as smart dialogue for readers both scientifically inclined and witty. It’s a quick read and very enjoyable about a girl who gets a second chance to analyze herself and her life and reinvent who she wants to be.
It’s also a 2010 Grand Canyon Reader Award nominee. For more information about Grand Canyon Reader Awards go to: http://www.grandcanyonreaderaward.org/
