Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-A sensitive look at a variety of teens whose sexual relationships have resulted in pregnancy, this revised edition (1992) introduces more young people dealing with these issues and gives updates on the individuals featured in the earlier volume. Topics include birth control, abortion, adoption, foster care, and parenting. One section, not always addressed in teen pregnancy books, covers the complex emotional toll that can occur when a pregnancy ends in a miscarriage. Another section highlights the story of a young woman, raped by her stepfather, who puts her child in foster care. Scattered throughout the text are frank quotes from teen parents; the immediacy of these voices provides an honest, sometimes gut-wrenching look at the realities these young adults face. Short comic strips also illustrate a handful of stories. Factual information that appears in engaging graphic blocks will satisfy students doing research. The positive, instructional narrative voice will appeal to those teens reading for more personal reasons as well. A short list of discussion questions is included. A useful tool.
