  • "An intriguing look at teen pregnancy from a three-time Newbery Honor winning author Feni is furious when she finds out that her mother has agreed to take a fifteen-year-old pregnant girl into their home until her baby is born.

Feni decided she will have nothing to do with her. But it's hard not to be curious about a girl so close to her own age who seems so different'"@en
