The Adoration of Jenna Fox

Description

'Why can I remember the details of the French Revolution but I can't remember if I ever had a best friend?' When Jenna wakes following her accident, her recovery is slow. One day she can't walk; the next she can. One day her right eyelid droops; the next it doesn't. But at what cost has her recovery come? What are her parents hiding from her? And why does her grandmother, Lily, hate her so? When the memories do come, they're more than anyone bargained for, and as Jenna struggles to work out who she is, and what exactly makes us who we are, one thing becomes very clear: Jenna Fox is no ordinary teenage girl. Who is Jenna Fox?
