"Friendship and fresh starts in the wake of memory loss"
Interest Age Teen Reading Age 7
Written and printed with the needs of reluctant, struggling, and dyslexic teen readers in mind, Karen McCombie’s The Mystery of Me tells a moving tale of friendship and fresh starts through a teenage girl’s journey to rediscover her identity.
When Ketty wakes from being in a coma, she has no memory of the car accident that almost killed her, and only wispy memories of who she was before the crash. From the way her former best friends seem like strangers, to not remembering the layout of her school, Ketty’s disorientation is powerfully evoked.
Amidst this maelstrom of uncertainty, Ketty is supported by Otis. Through his kindness and empathy Ketty finds confidence, but also finds out startling truths about the person she was in the past - truths that might just change the person she’ll become in the future.
With positive messages of empathy, understanding and fresh starts, and an unexpected twist, this will have readers gripped from start to finish.
Karen McCombie explores identity, friendship and fresh starts in this touching tale perfectly pitched for struggling teen readers.
