Fox Forever by Mary E. Pearson - ESSENTIAL

Pearson, Mary E.  Fox Forever, 288 pgs.  Henry Holt and Company, 2013.  $17.99  Content: Language: PG-13 (10 swears); Mature Content: PG-13; Violence: PG-13.  

This is the third and final book in the Jenna Fox Chronicles.  After the second book, Locke Jenkins has promised to return a favor to the resistance.  He finds himself trying to get into the good graces of Raine, the Secretary of Security’s daughter, so that he can uncover the location of a resistance leader who is hiding an account number worth billions of dollars.  Locke is surprised to find himself falling for Raine, and uncovering Raine’s secrets makes his favor a lot more complicated.  

This is a great ending to Jenna and Locke’s story.  I loved Locke’s character, he is brave and tries to do the right thing, even if sometimes it is a bad idea.  The twists in the book can be a bit predictable, but they only add more meaning to Locke’s mission and it drew me in.  I enjoyed this book and the whole series and I think it’s a book that is easy to recommend to boys.
