Alphas - Lisi Harrison


Pages 1 - 261 ( Beginning to End)

In this story I felt connected to a specific character named Charlie Deery. Charlie Deery is a teenage girl genius who is in love with Darwin who is in as much love with her too. Darwin's mother, Shira Brazille, one of the most influential woman in the world opens the Alpha Academy. 100 of the worlds most talented teenage girls are going to live on Alpha Island for a year. Charlie's mother, Bee, is Shira's number 1 assistant and her closest friend. Charlie's biggest desire is to attend Alpha Academy, so Shira strikes a deal. Charlie may attend Alpha Academy if she breaks up with Darwin, & her mother quits her job. Charlie consulted her mother and was willing to let the opportunity pass her by, but then Bee said to Shira "I Quit,". Bee then turned to Charlie and said 'I know that you love Darwin but this is a once in a lifetime chance so you should take it,' Shira interrupted the conversation and said that when Charlie broke up with Darwin she was not allowed to mention the conversation or the deal. Charlie then broke up with Darwin, but then she was forced to see Darwin all around the island with his new girlfriend. The book ended abruptly leaving you wondering what was going to happen next. But unfortunately the sequel does not come out until Spring 2010.
