Full Ride by Margaret Peterson Haddix follows Becca who has gone into hiding with her mother after her father is arrested for a huge and embarrassing white collar crime. Becca is in her senior year of high school and struggling with how she will pay for college when her mother is sure that an evil company is watching for their every move and so she can't apply for financial aid. When she applies for a full ride scholarship she wonders who it is that created the scholarship.
This is an interesting book that had a premise that just didn't work. It was hard to believe that anyone was really as paranoid as Becca and her Mother are and the final twist also didn't work well. I didn't however have problems finishing the book and I really liked Becca and her friends as characters.
Appropriateness: There is no adult content in this book. I would recommend it for readers 12-16
