The Taker by J.M. Steele not only has an ending you wouldn't expect it also has helpful tips about school and test taking. When I first started this book I thought it wouldn't be that great (boring). But the unexpected twists kept me reading! This book kept me on my toes. What is Carly Biels going to do? Will she use The Taker? Will she focus on her studies? Will she stay with her (not so great) boyfriend.
Each chapter starts with an SAT question about Carly, and instead of just plain, "chapter 1," "chapter 2" they
used fill in bubbles (like on the actual SAT's).
Here is a quick summary of this book: Carly Biels finds out she will NEVER get into Princeton with the SAT scores she got. Carly suddenly gets a text from The Taker. Carly starts to study with Ronald Gross her nerdy next door neighbor. She and her boyfriend start to have some relationship issues. Carly takes the makeup SAT's and gets an amazing score. She finds out The Taker didn't actually take the test for her and realizes her real feelings for her study partner.
This book is worth reading and I would recommend this book to 8th graders and above.
