A Girl By Any Other NameReading Level: HERE
Genre: New Adult
Released: January 17th 2014
Everyone tells him he needs to move on, but how can a man function without his heart?
Ten-year-old Caleb Tanner wants nothing to do with Sylvie Cranston, the annoying weird girl who moves next door to him and gets him in trouble for swearing. But at twelve, they become friends when he teaches her how to hook a fishing line and she shows him the value of a selfless act. At fourteen, he falls in love with her.
At sixteen, she dies.
Or so he’s told. But Cal never believes it. Sylvie has become part of his soul. He knows her like the steady beating of his own heart. He’d know if she was dead. Cal looks for her, prays for her and finally he just waits for her.
Nine years later, she walks into the community college English class Cal is teaching. Only this girl claims her name is Sophie Becker and she doesn’t know him. Cal knows better. He’s determined to get the girl he loves back—and protect her from the danger that took her away all those years ago.
I would not recommend this book for anybody under 16.
This book was really good from the beginning to the end. I loved it. I loved the characters in the story. The author pulls you in from the beginning to the very end. I know I would not let my girls read this book.
This book was very graphic. Every page I turned it to it was referring to so much passion and sex with the characters. The way they talked to each other.
The main character is Caleb and he is a star quaterback of his school. He meets the new girl that moved next door to him. He thinks she is weird and thinks her father does bad things to her. But he ends up falling in love with Sylvie. He is always asking her out and she is always turning him down. Deep down he loves her and she loves him but they can't be with each other. Sylvie has a secret that she can't tell anyone because it will risk her family by getting them into trouble or even hurt. Then one night Sylvie and Caleb were out fishing with each other and she sees her father get killed. Then the guys come after her and she ends up getting shot and killed. But Caleb doesn't believe anybody that she is dead. So he keeps looking for her and tries to find her until one day when he is teaching a class at college he has a girl that comes in that has the name Sophie and she looks and sounds just like Sylvie. But he doesn't want to believe it. Caleb tries everything to get to a look at her and wants to see what she looks like but she is always leaving early or hiding her face so he can't see her. Until one day he approaches her and tells her everything and gives her his address. She shows up and tells him everything about the night that she died.
This book was very graphic with language that little kids shouldn't read. So I would recommend that this book be a certain age for the readers to read it. I loved the book and would read something by her but she might want to put a warning in the beginning about it being very graphic. I will let you guys decide on it. The cover is very deceiving and you think it's a book that the kids can read but boy it's not. Hope you enjoy the book.
Author Bio – MK Schiller
I started imagining stories in my head at a very young age. In fact, I got so good at it that my best friend asked me to make up stories featuring her as the heroine and the boy she currently liked as the hero. We'd spend hours on the phone while I came up with a series of unrealistic, yet tender events led the object of her desire to finally profess his love. You've heard of fan fiction... this was friend fiction.
Even with that, it took many years to realize I could produce an actual full length book that readers would enjoy. I try to make my stories humorous, realistic, with characters who are flawed but redeeming. I hope you enjoy my stories and never stop searching for your happily ever after.
Thanks for putting this site together, I've found some great posts.
