I really liked this book because it got me thinking about many things. It is really comforting knowing that you are not the only one that thinks about having relations with guys.It is interesting knowing that this can really happen in the real world.The book talks about physical contact within people,by the way the book is written it makes it more realistic.This 1900's book is a great example of what can happen to teenagers if they do not have safe sex.I really thought this book was awsome.

I have not yet read this book, but my friend is a hs teacher and is teaching this particular book by Fran Arrick, "What You Don't Know Can Kill You". We were trying to search the Web for information on the author. Is it possible for any information on her bibliography?
