__Runner Up Books__ My second book is __Keeping the Faith__ by Jodi Picoult. This book is about a little girl named Faith. Faith is a little loving seven year old girl who lives with her mom Mariah and her dad Colin. However, dark events in the past resurface when Colin starts cheating again. This had happened before, and Mariah was sent to a mental hospital when she couldn't cope. As Faith's home is being torn apart, she recieves a visit from her "guard" one night. Mariah found Faith walking on the tall crossbar of the swingset, humming a hymn and quoting the Bible, a book she had never read. Faith said it was her angel. Things start spinning widly out of control after the word gets out. A TV newscaster is thrown in, a lot of love, mystery, and God, to make up this facinating novel. Last but not least; my third book is __Just Listen__ by Sarah Dessen. This book is about a former model Annabel Green. She and her best friend Sophie had the ideal teen life. They were insperable. However one night, Sophie thinks that she sees Annabel with her boyfriend. Suddenly, Annabel finds herself alone. No friends, schools out for the summer, and no reputation. To add to her problems, her sister is struggling with an eating disorder. After the difficult summer, Annabel finds school even more unbearable, until she meets Owen Armstrong. Slowly, slowly, slowly, Annabel finds the courage to talk about what really happened. This book is a must read, the plot thickens with every page. I loved it right up until the end!
