Expelled

By: James Patterson, Emily Raymond

Narrated by: Michael Crouch

When four teens are accused of crimes they didn't commit, they team up to investigate everyone at school who could have set them up.

Theo Foster's Twitter account used to be anonymous--until someone posted a revealing photo that got him expelled. No final grade. No future. No fair.

Theo's resigned to a life of misery working at the local mini-mart when a miracle happens: Sasha Ellis speaks to him. Sasha Ellis knows his name. She was also expelled for a crime she didn't commit and now he has the perfect way to get her attention: find out who set them up.

To uncover the truth, Theo has to get close to the suspects: the hacker, the quarterback, the mean girl, the vice principal, and his own best friend. What secrets are they hiding? And how can Theo catch their confessions on camera?

"A Breakfast Club-like novel for a new generation, filled with mysteries and twists right up until the very end...fans of Pretty Little Liars will be hooked in this drama."

"A contemporary novel with a little something for everyone... Reminiscent of The Breakfast Club, the story challenges stereotyped perspectives of teens, while providing clues to the characters' motives and secret conflicts."—Publisher's Weekly

"Expelled is a quick, entertaining coming-of-age story that challenges teen stereotypes while providing a mystery."—VOYA Magazine

my review

I liked it alot, but I feel like the end of the story could have been longer to get more of an "ending" than the quick bit that is at the end

Life as a teenager in today’s world.

I liked the story, and the way the characters interacted. They were a varied lot, but jelled together in a realistic way.

Teenage Self-Discovery

The audiobook Expelled by James Patterson and Emily Raymond, narrated by Michael Crouch was one I pre-ordered and was really looking forward to listening! It is the first book I have listened to (read) by James Patterson....shhhh! Don't tell anyone, since I'm probably the only one in the universe who hasn't read every book of his. :-) It was a good listen; the storyline was a tad slow for me at first, but as I got more into it, the pace picked up. The narration was right on. I'm a high school teacher, and I enjoy the YA genre, mainly because I am always on the lookout for books I can recommend to my students. I think teens would definitely enjoy this audiobook because it deals with issues and challenges teens face in today's world. I really liked the ending...it took me by surprise, and I definitely did not see it coming! I'm not really a huge fan of super long books, so the ~6 hour length was perfect for me. I'm looking forward to listening to more audiobooks in the future written and narrated by this talented crew!

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. :-)
