Kat Got Your Tounge by Lee Weatherly
A girl wakes up and she doesn't know who she is. "You're Cathy!" they tell her, but the girl doesn't have a clue who Cathy is, let alone why they're telling her that she is Cathy. But the girl is Cathy, she has amnesia and can't remember a thing about her old life. On returning to school Cathy's 'friends' seem to despise her for some awful reason...a reason that nobody will tell her.
I've read many books by Lee Weatherly and this one is one of the most intriging ones. It tells the story of Cathy, a girl who is in an accident and has amnesia. Each chapter alternates between Cathy now and the diary of the old Cathy, before she had amnesia. This affective chapter formation shows the change as Cathy begins to discover her old life, and why her so called friends hate her with a passion.
In the book you follow the realization from Cathys perspective, and you begin to realize that friends aren't always what they're made out to be.
Lee Weatherly tells the tale in a way that makes you never want to put the book down, and you have to find out what happens. She also makes what would be a sad and hard to tell subject into a breath-taking book that doesn't cast an air of gloom over the whole story.
I would recomend this book for 10+ and I give it 3 1/2 stars. Once you've read it, which I really recomend, you will think 'wow, if I only I could write like that'.
