Kid reviews for The Adoration of Jenna Fox: The Jenna Fox Chronicles, Book 1

The Adoration of Jenna Fox was probably one of the best books I've ever read. The book is basically about a teen girl named Jenna Fox recovering from an accident that made her lose her previous memories as well as the accident. She lives with her nervous, wants-a-perfect-child mother and her cold, mean grandmother Lily. Eventually, after watching home movies of her life and remembering certain memories, she puts together the details of her accident as well as her previous life with her best friends Loche and Kara. One of the things I found really intresting in this book is that it's set in a future time period where things like a massive earthquake rip across California and kill millions of people, the over-use of antibiotics start a pandemic which kills a 1/4 of the world population, and science has advanced far beyond cloning. This book was great because it really made me think about what is ethical, and how much of a human are you with only 10%, the butterfly of the brain. It also brought up different issues, like the dynamics of a family after a tragedy occurs, and how letting go can sometimes be the best thing. Another very intresting thing in this book was the afterword, when the author answered some questions about the book, and revealed that her idea for The Adoration of Jenna Fox came when her daughter was diognosed with cancer, and then a few years later, her younger daughter was diognosed with the same type. This is part of the reason I think the feelings are so real and rough and pure. This was an amazing book I would recommend to teens who aren't usually big sci-fi fans as well as teens with a love of science or The Hunger Games books. Fabulous!
