I was recently recommended a book by Lisa called "Saving Francesca". I checked it out yesterday and finished it EARLY this morning. It's written by an Australian author and it's about a girl called Francis (frankie) whose just transfered from an all girls school, to a recently converted co-ed high school. Francesca at first may appear dull and act the way I'd be ashamed to act (no opinion or personality), but later the reader realizes that she does have an opinion but she keeps it to herself.
Throughout the book, she developes new opinions, renews old friendships, and as I reader, by the end of the book, I sympathized with her.
I'll return this soon to the library, so try it out if you get around to it.

I am just now (Feb. 08) getting around to looking at our blog, and OMG! I loved Saving Francesca! I took it with me to visit a friend in LA a year or so ago, finished it on the airplane and started over again at the beginning! It is such a good story about a girl finding her voice and figuring out how to take care of herself in an uncertain world.
