XVI / Julia Karr


Nina's life is normal. She goes to school and hangs out with her best friend Sandy. She plays with her little sister Dee when she gets home. But Nina is fifteen. And like all girls she'll receive a Governing Council-ordered tattoo on her 16th birthday. XVI. Those three letters will be branded on her wrist, announcing to all the world that she is ready for sex. Nina has a stunning strength that comes out in unexpected ways, making her both likeable and respectable. She challenges the ways of her world, disapproves of the sex-teen mindset, and is determined to make her own way. This book encourages girls to become more thoughtful and independent. I found this book amazing - both its cover and its content.

Who would enjoy this? Girls who like a good story and who want to become more independent.
