    This is NOT regarding Canadian authors, BUT, want an AWESOME BOOK TO READ??? "Defending Jacob" by William Landay!!! It's about a 14 year old boy who gets accused of murdering a fellow student and his father is the Assistant District Attorney who loses his job, of course! He defends his own son. His son could care LESS about the trial and everything that is going on! The book brings up SOOO many issues about the family, the son, the other kids, and MORE! It's an amazing read! After you are done reading this book, I STILL cannot STOP thinking about it, and I finished it in February!!! It's an amazing book! Wow! WELL worth reading!!! Don't miss this one!!!
    Thanks!
    Laurie

    That would be I Know It's Over by C.K. Kelly Martin. It was a really great book but I don't know. The ending didn't worked for me. Maybe because I love lovely endings.

    I have to say I am unsure who is Canadian and who isn't when I read something. It doesn't matter to me where the author comes from. It only matters how good the book is. =)
