I have never been disappointed with any of Megg Jensen's books.  Her stories are always fresh and her characters come to life beautifully.  Her writing leaves me hungry for more.  Shucked is a fun-filled, quick, YA book with some action and a little romance.  That is what I love about Megg's writing, there is always a lot of action and some romance.Tabitha has been raised pretty much all over the world.  She has seen things that most teenagers never have the opprotunity to experience.  She's lived in jungles and come face to face with crocodiles.  With an archaeologist for a mom, she has lived an exciting life.  Unfortunately, her mother has been called away on a dangerous assignment and Tabitha will have to extend her stay at her grandparents farm.She has never been in a traditional school so when she is forced to attend she is less than thrilled, maybe terrified is a better word.  Despite all of her wild and sometimes dangerous adventures, she has zero experience with kids her own age.  There's no way she can fit in.In her short time at the school she finds a best friend, a guy that causes her heart to skip a beat and butterflies to dance in her belly, and the strangest thing...her math teacher is her mom's old flame.Shucked is a YA novel you don't want to pass up.  If you're a mom and wondering about the language, it's very mild.  I highly recommend this novel.
