 * Instructions: Please write the title of the book (italicized) with the author under the appropriate genre subtitle. Say a little something about the book~ Why you liked it, a little about the plot perhaps to grab our interest, and something for us to think about. Save your changes, but please don't change any of the formatting of the page. Stick with the text. If you'd like to start a discussion thread on your book, please feel free to note that in your review like I did for //My Sister's Keeper// example. Have fun but be appropriate with language and content! Thank you in advance :)


 * //My Sister's Keepe//r by Jodi Picoult (added by Mrs. Walsh)- This is one of my favorite books of all time. I couldn't stop turning the pages. Quick Summary: A teenage girl struggles with the idea that she could have been conceived by her parents to keep her sister, who is fighting cancer, alive. Several themes and questions struck me. Is it ethical to have a child just to keep another alive (stem cell research)? At what age can we make decisions about our health? What happens to siblings when the parents hyper-focus on one child? Do our parents really know what's best for us? I haven't seen the movie, but I hope to in the next couple of months (I'll probably wait for it to come out on DVD). *Highly Recommended* (Discussion question posted)
