"Little Brother" p. 1-103

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow--What a great book! I love that I have finally found something that I can suggest for both male and female students. I tend to read "girly" young adult books, like the Twilight Saga (which I might add, I am completely obsessed with), and this is exactly what I've been looking for. This is a great book to suggest to students, not only because they can identify with tech-savvy teens, but also because it is available in a free-downloadable format!

I love the kids in this book, they are so smart and incredibly witty! Even though I was nervous about what was coming next, I found myself laughing out loud at all of the smart-alec remarks.

I am slightly worried about sensitive issue of a fictional terrorist attack and how students (and parents) will react to the way the United States treats the kids. However, it may be too soon to tell! I'm going to start reading the rest of the book tonight, I can't wait to find out what happens to these poor students!
