Messenger Of Fear

Messenger Of Fear by Michael Grant, 260 pages

Mara wakes up confused, having lost almost all of her memory and in the company of someone who simply calls himself Messenger.  Messenger takes Mara to witness several different scenes; a girl who kills herself because of bullying at school, two teenagers who hit a dog and instead of helping actively kill it, and a bullying situation that ends with one boy dead, one going to prison and the instigator seemingly walking away with no repercussions.  Mara is being forced to judge someone in these situations and retributions are being laid out according to her judgments.  Little by little, Mara is being allowed to regain her memory and is coming to realize that she agreed to do this and possible deserves to be in this situation.  This is a good book for teens that like books that are a little scary and discuss the ideas of good and evil.
