You know that feeling you have, just for a moment, when you wake up and you don't know where you are? Then you realize, oh right, I'm at Becky's house, etc. Well what if that feeling just stuck with you...
When Jenna Fox wakes up, it's not just that she doesn't recognize where she is, she doesn't know the names of the people surrounding her bed, or even what year it is. She is told by her mother that she was in a coma after an accident, that she's been asleep for a whole year, and that her family moved from Boston to California. Jenna accepts this, but doesn't understand why her mom keeps such a watchful eye over her. As time passes, memories come back to her. Memories of her friends, her life back in Boston. The one thing she doesn't remember is the accident. Her mom eventually permits her to go back to school, but it's a small alternative school, and everyone seems to have their quirks and issues. Jenna's a little weirded out when she recalls, verbatim, Thoreau's Walden Pond. It wouldn't be such a big deal, but that's not the only thing that's weird...
Follow Jenna as she uncovers who she truly is, and what happened during the accident in The Adoration of Jenna Fox, a riveting, science-fiction thriller by Mary E. Pearson.

Recommended to anyone who likes a good sci-fi/mystery book, especially one that seems so close to reality you can almost believe it.
