3-3-09 The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson - Fiction

5 - An interesting book that poses the question What makes us human? Jenna Fox is different. She's not sure how or why but she can feel it. After her accident and her extended coma she's left with no memories. As they slowly come back to her she starts to notice things: her grandmother doesn't like her, she is compelled to obey her mother. Once she discovers how different she really is she's confused, frightened, angry, and more alone than she ever imagined she was. The Adoration of Jenna Fox introduces teens to the heavy topics of what really makes us human and the scientific debate of just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?
