The Adoration of Jenna Fox

by Mary E. Pearson

Summary: When Jenna Fox wakes up from an 18 month coma, something just doesn't feel right. Her parents have her watch videos from her life to help jog her memories. Her grandmother seems to hate her, but that doesn't match with the loving grandmother from the videos. Why have her parents moved across the country, and where are her friends? Pearson masterfully builds suspense as Jenna slowly puts the pieces together to figure out who she really is. You'll never believe what she discovers.

My thoughts: Even if you don't normally like science fiction, give this one a try. It's scary and thought-provoking, raising questions about what the word "ethical" means in a future society that looks an awful lot like our own.
