Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Robin Brande
Your best friend hates you. The guy you liked hates you. Your entire group of friends hates you. All because you did the right thing.
Welcome to life for Mena, whose year is starting off in the worst way possible. She's been kicked out of her church group and no one will talk to her—not even her own parents. No one except for Casey, her supersmart lab partner in science class, who's pretty funny for the most brilliant guy on earth.
And when Ms. Shepherd begins the unit on evolution, school becomes more dramatic than Mena could ever imagine . . . and her own life is about to evolve in some amazing and unexpected ways.
"A page-turning read that will likely cause many teens to take stock of what they believe and why, and how to treat others who believe differently. Although the themes are entirely different, Brande's first book shares similarities to Janet Tashjian's The Gospel According to Larry (2001) - and should be as widely read." - BookBrowse.com.
