Narration As Books Carpe Diem

“I’ve got my entire life planned out for the next ten years — including my PhD and Pulitzer Prize,” claims 16-year-old overachiever Vassar Spore, daughter of overachiever parents, who in true overachiever fashion named her after an elite women’s college. Vassar expects her sophomore summer to include AP and AAP (Advanced Advanced Placement) classes. Surprise! Enter a world-traveling relative who sends her plans into a tailspin when she blackmails Vassar’s parents into forcing their only child to backpack with her through Southeast Asia. On a journey from Malaysia to Cambodia to the remote jungles of Laos, Vassar sweats, falls in love, hones her outdoor survival skills — and uncovers a family secret that turns her whole world upside-down.   Vassar Spore can plan on one thing: she’ll never be the same again.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books Carpe Diem

This book was GREAT!! I got this book for Christmas and I wasn't completely sure I would like it. I was a very picky reader at that time and if I wasn't sure about reading it I wasn't going to read it. After reading it I was so glad I read it because it was amazing! I recommend this to any over-achievers especially because I am an over-achiever and I really connected to Vassar.

The most purely fun book I've read since middle school. It's a young-adult book, sure, but it is also the definition of pleasure reading. It reminded me of all the happy, adventurous, uncomplicated pleasures the world contains. And it made me even more excited to travel in Asia!

This book is so funny. Every page seems to have at least one thing to laugh about. But unlike most ridiculous teenage humors it really has a good theme. Vassar, the girl who is named after a prestigious college is trying to acheive a 5.3 or some ridiculously high GPA. Then in steps her grandma who makes her go on a trip with her in SE Asia for the entire summer. Suddenly the 5.3 isn't as attainable and she is forced to write a novel to earn AP-AP English credit. Her trip makes her realize that

This book was REALLY good. It is my new favorite book. What made it really good is the author new what she was talking about because she has visited the place of the setting many times and most of the happinings in the book are her real life experiences, only made more interesting. I would recommend this book to mostly girls. It is a page turner. I read it in 2 days.

I laughed throughout this book - very funny!

We are reading this one for my high school book club. Love the entertaining story line of a junior over-achiever destined for perfection until an unplanned trip to travel Asia with her eccentric grandmother derails all her best made plans. I found myself laughing aloud a few times during this read.
