The Stranger by Caroline B. Cooney
Ok, the premise of this book will sound weird. But I promise it is weirdly fun! Nicoletta is a high schooler who falls involve with the new guy in her art appreciation class. Unfortunately for her, the new guy, named Jethro, happens to be a rock. When a popular friend named Christo asks her out, she says yes, only to end up having to try to stop him from killing Jethro-a.k.a the rock.
This is a short, quick read. Like I said, it's odd. But, like many of Cooney's stories, the themes of friendship, love, and right versus wrong abound in this. So, if you are asking yourself how can a girl love a rock, well, read the book!
I am so intrigued...
