Eyecatchers of the week

I've got two great new eyecatchers for you this week. This first one caught my attention immediately thanks to its very intriguing cover.



Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year


by Amy Belasen and Jacob Osborn



Hell hath no fury...


Jenny Green is a spoiled teen "princess" and the newest junior at Montreal's Molson Academy. Jenny wants a fresh start in her new school, and she's curious to see what Montreal has to offer, most especially in the boy department. Beautiful, charming, and sharp-witted, Jenny has no trouble getting the boys to fall for her.

But when she discovers just how despicable the male gender can be -- with the lying, the cheating, and the utter disrespect -- she decides to make them pay...with their lives.


This next title caught my attention thanks to Tami Klockau over at YA Edge. She was tweeting about it over at Twitter.com and then posted her own blog of recent reads. It definitely looks worth a read. :)




The Adoration of Jenna Fox


by Mary E. Pearson








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?
This fascinating novel represents a stunning new direction for acclaimed author Mary Pearson. Set in a near future America, it takes readers on an unforgettable journey through questions of bio-medical ethics and the nature of humanity. Mary Pearson's vividly drawn characters and masterful writing soar to a new level of sophistication.
