I came across this book while searching for new reads to put in my classroom. I love love LOVE Prinz award novels, for whatever reason, the judges of this particular award really get the YA genre. I had never heard of Lucy Christopher before this, but I am now stalking her on other social media outlets.

I am halfway through this book, and have to admit, I am perplexed by this interesting story and of a teen kidnapper "stealing" another teen in such a blatant public way. I still have no clue where this story is headed- and I'm intrigued! It is written as a first person narrative, a memior, of her time being held captive by a strange and exciting young man, Ty.  Beyond magic, and Gemma's ill-fitting family, Ty's motivation is still elusive. It feels like a love story, it sounds like a love story, but I'm still wondering how it will fit together.

Even without finishing it is one I am reccommending!

   It doesn't get any more real than this! Like all my social media indicates I am an English teacher at Reagan High School.  I love my students as much as I do my own four children.  I enjoy YA Lit and Cadbury eggs.  I spend most of my daylight hours in overdrive, like most mothers.  Many ask me how I manage to accomplish so much, and although I have answered in various ways, the one solid truth in my life is Jesus Christ who makes all things possible. 
   Borrego ​is the name of my current project. Check out this novel and more on my website or on Amazon.com.
