Patti's pick: The Fox Inheritance, by Mary E. Pearson (YA)From the book cover: They say time heals all wounds, but they're wrong. After a terrible accident destroyed their bodies, the minds of three best friends were kept alive, spinning in a digital netherworld. Even in that disembodied nightmare, they were still together. At least at first. When Jenna disappeared, Locke and Kara had to go on without her. Decades passed, and then centuries.
Two hundred and sixty years later, they have been released at last. Given new, perfect bodies, Locke and Kara awaken to a world they know nothing about, where everyone they once knew and loved is long dead. Everyone...except Jenna Fox.
Patti says: I loved it! I was very fortunate to receive an advance copy of The Fox Inheritance. Its release day is August 30th, but I'm glad I didn't have to wait that long to read it. I enjoyed the first book in the series, The Adoration of Jenna Fox, so I was interested to find out what happened next in the story. It picks up 260 years later and is told from the point of view of Locke, one of Jenna's friends.
The Fox Inheritance is a wonderful blend of mystery, suspense, sci fi, and character development. I think you could read it without reading Jenna first, but I think you'll enjoy the story more if you read the books in order.
These books are for young adults, but adults will enjoy them, too. I've also read another book by Mary Pearson, The Miles Between, which is a great story about four teens who leave their boarding school to go on a road trip in search of "one fair day." Another must-read!
