Fang Girl by Helen Keeble, Sammantha Rubio

Out of the three books I read last semester, I decided to pick Fang Girl by Helen Keeble. Fang Girl is a humor and young adult fiction novel with a total of 325 pages. The book is about a 15-year old girl named Jane Greene who is suddenly dead after waking up inside a coffin with fangs, super speed, and no more mediocre life. She returns home to her family to understand the reasoning of her death while her family seem to be confused about their dead daughter at their front door. Her parents, confused on how to take care of their dead daughter, feeds her live animals, reads every book they could find, and get frightened that their daughter may or may not want to suck their blood.  Throughout the book, she learns to cope with the idea of her being dead while trying to still "live" a normal life. I really enjoyed this book because there were many funny and humorous moments in the book that really kept the momentum all throughout. This book was very enjoyable to read and never had a moment of boredom at all. The protagonist was very entertaining with some laugh-out-loud quotes, and her teen characteristics were perfectly detailed. I also really loved how supportive the characters were with the protagonist like how her family was very supportive about their daughter going through a process of her death. They were able to do anything for their daughter and how they handle situations that seemed bizarre and crazy, perfectly blended with the whole novel. I really enjoyed this book and many people who really like adult fiction novels would love to read this as well. :D

  1. Reading your semester one book choice reminds me of the book Lovely Bones. It is about a girl who was murdered, and with her sprit came back to her family to help them find the murderer. Even though the book was solemn there were some moments that the protagonist was light hearted in remembering all they moments she had with her family.

    From you description Fang Girl seems like a fun and interesting book to read!

  2. This seems to be a good read for anyone that is looking for a fun time and it has a unique storyline. Like who the heck wakes up to being a vampire and tries to go back to their normal life? If I was Jane I would be really scared to go face my parents who believe I'm dead, but for her to be able to trust her parents with everything that went on that takes a lot. I will for sure be adding this to my book list that I tend to actually read, because for one I think it would be cool to jump into a new kinda theme that I'm not used too. :)
