Publisher Description

Your best friend hates you. The guy you liked hates you. Your entire group of friends hates you.

All because you did the right thing.

Welcome to life for Mena, whose year is starting off in the worst way possible. She's been kicked out of her church group and no one will talk to her—not even her own parents. No one except for Casey, her supersmart lab partner in science class, who's pretty funny for the most brilliant guy on earth.

And when Ms. Shepherd begins the unit on evolution, school becomes more dramatic than Mena could ever imagine . . . and her own life is about to evolve in some amazing and unexpected ways.

"I loved this book. It was extremely thought provoking and I'm still chewing it over in my mind. I stand by my beliefs, but there are things in this world like this that just make you think about them. I like it. After all, God gave us brains. It'd be a shame to waste them."

    " I really liked the author's take on religion and evolution, and especially the evolution of oneself. We all evolve whether some believe from an animal or just from a former version of ourselves. "

    " Evolution, Me, and Other Freaks of Nature, by Robin Brande is a book I resisted for a while, for some reason. The first few pages didn't snag my attention, but it turned out to be an idea I could have hatched myself. The narrator and I have some common experiences. "

    " This argument for the possibility of science and faith existing in a non-encroaching harmony in teen novel's clothing is pretty good. Brande does a nice job of creating believable and likeable characters and fleshes out what could easily have been a didactic drudge. "

    " Book on CD. I actually really liked this book. As a person of faith and a scientist I have never felt there was a conflict between the two, and ultimately this book supported that. I enjoyed how the main charactor developed throughout the book. "

    " Another book I'd love to use as a read-aloud; there's no questionable content, and it's a great way for teens to understand the debates over evolution and creationism in public schools in recent years. "
