The Adoration Of Jenna Fox, written by Mary E Pearson, is about Jenna Fox, an important character that has developed the idea to make important decisions in her life. Jenna, a teenager who has just woken up from a coma that was caused from a very tragic accident, and later finds out that she is a girl that has a body made up of 90% of Bio Gel.
