Review of Destination Unknown

Destination Unknown by Amy Clipston, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DL1RPBW/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_jBXXsb0SYQWQGTitle: Destination Unknown

Author: Amy Cliptson

Series: sort of a sequel to Roadside Assistance
 
Chapters: 22

Pages: 267

Genre: Christian Teen

Rating: 5 stars

Destination Unknown is the companion novel to Roadside Assistance; Whitney Richards is the cousin to Emily Curtis. When I read Roadside Assistance I really didn’t like Whitney but after getting to know her in Destination Unknown I found myself relating to Whitney and I ended up liking her as much as I did Emily.
Whitney starts off as the typical cheerleader at least what people think when they think of cheerleaders. But when she stars failing her math class and has to get a tutor; things start to change. Do in part to Taylor Martinez her math tutor, her friends and mother doesn’t think he’s good enough for her. He’s from the wrong part of town, the same part of town her cousin Emily is from.
I thought Zander from Roadside Assistance was my favorite male character but Taylor is growing on me. Just like with the first book a classic car plays a part.

Destination Unknown is more that a teen novel about teenage drama and love. It is a novel about learning to trust God’s plans and His timing. Even when it’s not our timing. That it’s alright to want to be your own person but not to hurt others in the process. I really enjoyed this book. I kind of wish there would be a third and four book that show Emily and Whitney at college. 


Here's my review of Roadside Assistance

Author: Melody Carlson

Series: True Colors # 2
 
Genre: Teen Christian fiction

Rating: 5 stars

Deep Green: Color Me Jealous is a teen novel that deals with tough issues. But it is really well done. I was say that these are books that are for older teens high schoolers. This is because the issues are what high school girls face every day. Deep Green deals with the issues being Jealous when a girl loses her boyfriend to who she thought was her best friend.

     There Your Find Me, is the first book that I have read my Jenny B Jones and let’s just say I loved the book. To me the book had everything humor, sorrow, love, and most important faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Many of the characters in the story are Christians. There needs to be more author who write Christian teen fiction.
