The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary Pearson


This novel explores two major questions -- What makes us human? and What does it mean to truly love someone?


When Jenna wakes up from a coma, she doesn't remember anything -- even whether or not she has a best friend. Suddenly, however, she can remember the entire text of Walden or all the statistics of the Civil War. She begins to question what really happened to her.


I figured out what had happened to Jenna pretty quickly, and I thought that was bad, until I realized that it wasn't really the point of the book.


I am planning to use this book as an introduction to Brave New World in English 2 H.
