Summer Reading?

I have to read two books this summer and take notes which can be used on quizzes and projects. One book is igned and is called "The Revealers" by Doug Willhelm, and the other is chosen by me from an approved list of books. I picked a book called "The Girls". But, for the author it only said 'Koss', so I need to know the author's full name... or whatever they go by. And, any comments on either book are appreciated, but please hold your tounge if it's not polite. Thanks in advance!
