What does it mean to be human? Is our whole greater than the sum of our parts? Can we play God and remain innocent of the consequences of our actions? These are just some of the questions that readers of The Adoration of Jenna Fox will find themselves pondering. Without giving too much away, Jenna Fox is your typical teenager: she has great friends, she argues with her mom, she struggles with perfectionism, and she makes some bad choices and (not so typical) is in a horrible accident. The choices her parents make as a consequence of that accident will set you back on your heels.
Great books to pair this book with are: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Eva by Peter Dickinson, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, Blueprint by Charlotte Kerner, and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Tim Cash's Frankenstein and the Ethics of Invention class should have had this book available to them!
