Jake Riley

This is the best book about young teens i've read in a decade.

A MUST read

Rebecca Davis has created very real characters that I'm sure we all can relate to in one way or another. She has captured some very real situations that we can relate to, maybe you or even your child has experienced a similar situation. This is a wonderful and fast read that young and old will surely enjoy. Rebecca has a way with words that captures and reels the reader deep into the story. I highly reccommend this book!

Just when you think you have it figured out . . . .

To borrow the theme from the book's tag line:Jake Riley keeps you guessing.Jake Riley keeps you reading.I agree with the other reviewers - this book is exciting, fast paced and the characters are involving. But I want to mention the complexity of the plot. Rebecca Davis has woven a mystery that focuses on 'whoishe' instead of 'whodunit' and the resulting story stays one step ahead of the reader. When you aren't trying to figure out who Jake really is (or following the other character's attempts to figure him out), you're immersed in the dynamic daily life of Lainey - a young teen's life that has something everyone can relate to.Overall it's a great read for all ages.
