Evolution Me Other Freaks of Nature Robin Brande 9780440240303 Books

I have a bone to pick with this author. Her books are so age-appropriate and so well written I cannot convince my 12 yo to put the book down to eat. What a gift she has for writing, depth, and for this tough-to-please age. So grateful.

Evolution Me Other Freaks of Nature Robin Brande 9780440240303 Books Reviews

I found this book by browsing, took a chance and glad I did. This is a must read for all intelligent people, by this I mean, people whom are not judgmental, prejudice, etc. Definitely a keeper.
Amazing. I have read several books in my lifetime (I'm 12)(I'm using my mother's account), but only three books have ever made have to tear my eyes away from the page. This is one of those three. The title is very creative too. It's basically what caught my attention.
Great read, though some parts were frustrating. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to understand more of evolution and religion.
I picked this up at a book store without realizing that it was a "young adult" novel. It looked interesting and it seemed to deal with evolution and the church, so I grabbed it and tossed it into my cart. I was out of town recently on business, needed something to read, had this with me and sat down to read it. That was a mistake, as I had to get up early the next morning and found I had read until well past my usual bedtime.

While this is a novel that deals primarily with the actions of a teen girl whose "friends" from her church now hate her, it also is much more. The reading is fun and easy and the story well told and well thought out. In addition, there are life lessons such as

*You shouldn't lie to your parents, even when they are wrong
*Parents can be wrong...it happens
*Your "friends" may not really be friends after all
*There is a big world out there...go explore
*Lead...don't follow

That is but a sampling of what can be taken from this novel. It is not, however, written in a preachy or condescending style and can be enjoyed by all ages.

I highly recommend this novel for everyone. It is great entertainment and fun and will certainly stir up debate in the family about the subjects it covers.
This should be required reading in every middle & high school Lit class & in every household to help bring awareness to and discussion about bullying.
yes! a fantastic book about and for teenagers that i can actually recommend to teenagers!

a bit like the movie "saved" in some ways, the narrator has just (as the book begins) been excommunicated from her church and youth group for being the whistle-blower over her church and youth group's campaign against a gay kid in her school. her whistle-blowing, in the form of an apology letter to the boy after his attempted suicide, has resulted in lawsuits against the church and pastor.

in the midst of this lonely ostracism (coupled with a massive silent treatment from her parents), the narrator struggles to redefine her faith. at the same time, she's getting caught up in a new polarizing campaign against evolution being taught in her biology class.

this would be a wonderful book to read with a group of christian teenagers. all kinds of great discussion could result loneliness, love, articulated faith, the gospel, evolution and faith. a great read for teenagers and adults who care about them.
This is a great book. Mixes religion, science, and teen drama. At the start of the book the main character Mena is being shunned by her former church for writing a letter to gay classmate that attempted suicide after being bullied by the church. When Mena starts her freshman biology class she gets partnered up with the weird and smart Casey. Drama starts to unfold when the first chapter in the class is evolution something the church kids fight with a passion. The story progresses we see science mixing with religion and find out that it's the balance between the two that makes sense.
I have a bone to pick with this author. Her books are so age-appropriate and so well written I cannot convince my 12 yo to put the book down to eat. What a gift she has for writing, depth, and for this tough-to-please age. So grateful.
