![]() ![]() ![]() This is the story of the relationship between Jenna and Mr Anderson, told exclusively from her point of view. Every page simmers with suspense, and the knowledge that something big is coming, something bad bubbling under the surface, but we’re at Jenna’s mercy as she is the one telling the story, her train of thought maddeningly wandering away from the topic again and again. This is a brilliant, inventive, gripping young adult book that will delight teens while perhaps terrifying their parents. Against the rules, and against the odds, he becomes her ally, and so much more. Mr Anderson is a Chemistry teacher and athletics coach, but he’s more than that to Jenna. But then she meets someone, someone special who is kind to her, pays attention to her, looks out for her. Being the new kid at school adds to an already iffy situation (parents who ignore her angst in favour of their own a brother who enlisted to get away from them) and she’s not really looking forward to term starting. Jenna is 16 years old, and fresh out of a psychiatric hospital when her parents enrol her at a new high school in the wilds of Wisconsin. Summary: A dark teen book about a forbidden relationship, this is a great, gripping read ![]()
