Review Detail

Reader reviewed by abscae

Mena apparently committed a sin. A sin that turned her parents, her friends, her church, and her faith against her. She stood up for something she believed in, and being an astute Catholic (along with her family), she now is faced with the constant rejection of everyone around. Here enters the theory of evolution, introduced by Mrs.Shephard in a science class. And along with it, Casey, the guy who can make her laugh, and excepts her.

Thus ensues Mena's trials and tribulations, her confrontations, and the revelation of what faith means to one.

I found this novel to be powerful, and quite enchanting. It addresses issues such as personal faith and morals, ideas that I don't find quite too often in the newer young adult novels. The characters are vivid, and overall, it was a wonderful read.
