The Gardener and The Accomplice
These were two books Scholastic sent me for our upcoming book fair. I just finished reading them both.
In the Accomplice, two high school girls decide that the way to get into the competitive college world is to make themselves known. Together, they work out the "perfect" plan for one of them to go missing and for the other one to find her and this gain fame. There is so much; however, that was unforeseen especially to the one who had to face the public and lie daily about her missing friend. Many people get hurt along the way.
The Gardener, by the author of the Compound, was a story of a boy who finds a beautiful mysterious girl in a comatose state along with other teenagers at what he thought was his mother's nursing home job. When he reads the Runaway Bunny and she awakens, he goes to great lengths to help her escape and to protect her.

Is it an Evil Aunt or Unlucky Toddler?
Last week, I read If the Witness Lied by Caroline Cooney. So, so , so many emotions filled me! Tris is a toddler whose mother died shortly after his birth. Then, he was involved in a car accident where he is being blamed for killing his father. Reality TV wants to depict him as a three year old who killed both his parents and don't even get me started on that aunt.
I could not put this one by Cooney down either. I am going to say too much if I keep typing.

WHO WOULD YOU BE?
I probably should not admit this, but I often pretend to be a character in the books I read. If you could be any character who would it be?
