The Adoration of Jenna Fox

By: Mary E. Pearson

Narrated by: Jenna Lamia

Who is Jenna Fox? Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a coma, they tell her, and she is still recovering from a terrible accident in which she was involved a year ago. But what happened before that? Jenna doesn't remember her life. Or does she? And are the memories really hers?

Mary E. Pearson's The Adoration of Jenna Fox is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Great story, great narration.

I loved the flow of the story, the way it was written from the perspective of Jenna Fox. Jenna Lima was spot on with the narration. I got this book in one of audible's first in a series sales, not knowing anything about it previously. I am so glad I got it. I truly enjoyed the story. Although I enjoyed the other books this is by far the best in the series.

It's pretty good

It took a little bit for the book to get started but then I warmed up to it. I never got really attached to the story or characters but I was curious enough to finish it. I'm glad I read it.

A story filled with " what ifs"

The way the story unfolded like layers of an onion kept me interested. The questions of ethics vs what would you do we're thought provoking. Looking forward to reading the Sequel.

Great YA Fiction

This was a great book for my daughter and me to enjoy and discuss together. It is a typical "coming of age" story but it gets into so many ethical questions: from medical technology to a parent's expectations of her child.

Jenna Lamia is a fabulous narrator; we love her storytelling ability.

What would you do?

These are the questions:
Your child could die, but you have the knowledge and resources to save as much as you can, would you?
What if it were illegal?
What if you did it anyway?
Pray you never know, just ask the Foxes. Ms. Pearson always in there with questions that makes you rethink it all. Everything about this was awesome. Great writing that made you ask questions and feel like you were part of the action, which wouldn't have been managed without the beautiful narration.
