The Life of Chrissa
A Review by Rachel

Chrissa Jennings is a thirteen year old confused teenager. Why her father left her three years ago is still a question to her. She has failed to talk to her mother because she just wouldn't understand, so she is sent to her grandmother's out in the country. Maybe this will be where Chrissa can find the answers to her questions, instead she finds out a whole lot more than she bargained for. Will she be able to find out the real truth while trying to help someone close to her?

This book was definitely by far one of the best books I have ever read. The characters were so real and fun filled that it was hard for me to ever put the book down. Every page had something new and exciting in it. For example when Chrissa was walking home from school down the dirt road to her grandmother's a white Buick came at her at almost fifty miles an hour as if they were trying to kill her. When she told her grandmother she thought it was Sister Harmony's nephew she was thought to be a liar. Also this book has so many twists and turns that you never know what is actually the truth until the end. For example when Chrissa is talking to Sister Harmony's nephew she almost thought that it was her father, but since her grandmother is holding something back you never find out who and where her father is until the very end. This book is very interesting and well written and very realistic because all the events that take place could actually happen.

This book was a awesome book! Its not one of the books that you have to read for a little bit and then get into it the excitement starts in the first chapter and ends in the last line of the book! Ice is on of those books that when reading it, it actually feels like you are with the characters in the book while everything is happening. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read a fun filled book, can't put down, exciting book. This book is such a fantastic book and anyone who reads it will enjoy it!

The Best Book Ever!!!
I really like the book ICE because Crissa, a teenage girl, is very smart and has certain feelings unlike any teen would have. I like this book because Crissa shows and goes through everyday problems just like any teen, and it helps me understand that I am not the only preteen who goes through problems like these. This is the best book I have ever read and recommend it for everyone to read.
