Grace by Elizabeth Scott
2.0
ORAL PRESENTATION: ELIZABETH SCOTT
This book was quite different from the other two books I read by this author. Most American teenagers would have a harder time relating to it. Grace is an "angel," someone raised to drop a suicide bomb. However, she isn't sure she believes in what she has to do, and moreover, she is too scared to do it. When unable to carry out the plan, Grace finds herself trying to flee the country. Another different thing about this book is that it is left open-ended. We aren't sure how Grace's story will end. The main aspect of this book is trust, and I think that is the aspect that teenagers can relate to.
