<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When ninth grade student Emmy discovers that she is pregnant, her boyfriend wants nothing to do with her, and her mother is furious. Facing tremendous pressure to quit school, she is determined to finish her education and achieve her dreams.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the 9th grade, Emmy is an A student, a soccer star, and a lead soprano in the school choir. She won't let her alcoholic mother or her father, long gone, stand in her way. Emmy falls for Art, a junior who is also one of the choir's lead singers. Art is a dream of a boyfriend until Emmy finds that she's pregnant. Then he wants nothing to do with her. Her mother is furious and wants her to have an abortion. Her guidance counselor claims that Emmy's life will be ruined, and only one of her friends tries to stand by her. But what does Emmy want, and what about her dreams, if she chooses a new life as a single mother?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>American Library Association Best Books for Young Adults List</p><p>South Carolina Young Adult Book Award</p><p>"...wonderful novel...honest, heart-wrenching, informative...should be on all Best Books for YA lists." - KLIATT</p><p>With its timely news about social programs serving pregnant teens, its candor and its message about summoning one's inner strength, this instructive tale is both cautionary and inspirational. Ages 12-up. - Publishers Weekly</p><p>The story might be a cliche, but, unfortunately, it is a relevant cliche for the many teen mothers who live it every year. Writing in an appealing conversational style, Reynolds adds plenty of interesting plot elements to keep the pages turning. The characters, especially Emmy as first-person narrator, are well-drawn, complex, and believable. - Booklist</p><br>
