  The Taming
Written by Teresa Toten & Eric Walters

Katie likes to believe she’s invisible. It seems so much safer than being exposed as who she is: shy, poor, and vulnerable. So getting up in front of audience as the lead in her school’s production of The Taming of the Shrew should be complete torture. But as Katie tells it, something totally unexpected happened when she stepped on stage: “My head exploded. I loved it. Acting hit me like a sucker punch and I loved, loved, loved it! Invisible Katie became visible Katherina.”
 
Evan is, as they say, another story. He knows just what it takes to get noticed, and he uses every one of the skills he’s perfected from years of being the new kid at yet another new school. Rich, smart, and ridiculously charming, he’s like nothing and no one Katie has ever encountered. How then could someone like him possibly be interested in someone like her? But before she knows it they are inseparable. Over the dizzying course of their relationship, Katie must confront the fact that the power of love can conceal darker truths.

"I feel the need to push this book into the hands of every teenager I can find, boy or girl, visible or invisible, lost or found."
Me On Books YA Bookblog

"This book was so great on so many levels. There was humour, innocence, deceit, betrayal, strength. . .I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a god mind warp, and wants to read a book that will leave an impact on you."

"WOW! This is one of the most INTENSE books I've read all year! . . . This book is definitely not for the faint of heart, however, once I started it, I was unable to stop."

"Emotional manipulation, fights, making up, sex, abuse-it's all here in one fast read. This collaborative work is bound to catch the attention of teens and fans of books that look beyond the fluff and sparkle of so many teen romances."
CM MAGAZINE

"5 out 5 stars. I want you to read this. This book, pardon the language ****** with my head. If you'd ever had to do a dissection of The Taming of the Shrew, then perhaps you'd realize that Shakespeare's comedy, is not all that funny. Let me put it this way, I've never seen it in this light. I'm dumbfounded."

"I got totally blown over by this book. . .I would definitely recommend it."

"What is certain is that teen readers have much to learn from both of them The novel is so well crafted that the learning will come gradually, accompanied by powerful vicarious emotions that I think will help them prepare for real relationship dilemmas."
