false 1902241 8 Who is Jenna Fox? Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a year-long coma, and she's still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. Her parents show her home movies of her life, her memories, but she has no recollection. Is she really the same girl she sees on the screen? Little by little, Jenna begins to remember. Along with the memories come questions—questions no one wants to answer for her. What really happened after the accident? In this fascinating novel, acclaimed author Mary E. Pearson presents an unforgettable look at one human life and a glimpse into a possible future that may be closer than we think. 1903936 book 29 4 2008 The Adoration of Jenna Fox total:1953|5:544|4:807|3:481|2:98|1:23| 1953 7610 3364 698 4 10 false true Fri May 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 10:48:01 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 20:16:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 8 false true Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 24 10:17:46 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 01 10:25:15 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 9 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 11 07:34:43 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 11 07:46:59 -0700 2008 I kept hearing about this book (it was just optioned for a moveie, I believe?) and everyone said "the less you know about it coming to it, the better."
