The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson

4.0

---

I read this as a possible wide reading choice for some of my students - I was expecting something a little dystopic, a little sci-fi and very YA. What I didn't expect was a novel that delved into ideas around identity, familial love, boundaries and what it is to be human in a way that was interesting and engaging, if not entirely new. Jenna is a well-spun character, whose relationships with those around her feel relatable but strange. An enjoyable read and one that I'll definitely be putting in the book box.
