Winter 2006 Review:

        The book Sticky Fingers, by Niki Burnham, is a good eye opener for teenagers.  It is about a young girl with all her goals set out for her.  She is doing great and decides to have some "fun". Having "fun" can prove to be a bad thing for a straight A student who wants to get into collage early. Things only get worse when her boyfriend decides to make things go his way. She quickly learns that she cannot trust him like she thought she could.

        This book is good for teenagers in 8 - 12 grade. It would probably only attract females, though it would be good for males to let them know how things can really happen. The book is well written. The characters in the book are believable, likeable, and interesting. I think teenage females would enjoy this book for the same reasons that I did. They would like how it is very believable and interesting, as well as the fact that everything in this book can and actually has happened in real life, though not necessarily in this exact order or to the same person.  It takes real things and shows you that they can happen, even to the best of people.
