While this is the kind of not-too-distant future, sci-fi novel that overflows the teen genre, Jenna Fox's humanity gives this an edge over other books in the pool of "scientific ethics" books.
Jenna's told she was in an accident, but she doesn't remember it. She's healing, but she's not sure where. And she feels funny, but she doesn't know what that means. As Jenna's memories return and as she slowly unravels her curious situation, we readers also slowly discover that there's something different about Jenna.
I enjoyed the fact that Jenna's is the only voice we hear: what she doesn't know, we don't know. For both of us there are a million small surprises - and a couple of really big ones. I'll be recommending this book to teen readers, especially during out summer library program, and it would be a great title for discussion.
