Northanger Alibi - Jessie James

Loved this book!  I read it in one day!  I so want my thirteen year old to read this!  This is a fun youth fiction.  It is a modern day story, loosely based on Northanger Abby.  It is clean, cleaver and fun. She pokes fun of all the girls (& women) who wanted to go find an Edward in Seattle after reading Twilight.  However, you can  tell she is really poking fun at herself.  The story shows that, even though we can get caught up in fantasies, real life is full of enough adventure and  works out to be what we need, not perfect, but what we need.  The book worked out a little too perfectly, but that didn't bother me.  It is a light, easy read, that will make you smile!
