‘Megan’ by Mary Hooper

megan“Megan” by Mary Hooper. Megan is an average teenager who likes hanging with her friends and going shopping. The only difference is she’s pregnant and the father of her baby is her ex, who she is not quite fond of any more. She loses her friends and family and is forced to stay with her aunty. Everyone is telling her to get the baby adopted but is that the right choice for Megan? The book is full of ups and downs and is very addictive. It’s suitable for teenage girls and can help you think like Megan and see that this is a life changing experience and not for the better. It is an amazing book and I hope to read the second one in the near future. Jessica, Year 9.
 
Megan is 15 and finds out she is five months pregnant, after hearing in a personal development class it is possible to be pregnant and still have periods. When her so-called best friend Claire tells a group of girls about Megan’s pregnancy, it’s not long until the whole school knows and Megan has become the latest and greatest gossip. When her mum finds out about the pregnancy and Megan is excluded from school, she is sent away to live with her aunty for a while. She attends a school for young pregnant girls where she is able to still complete her exams. As Megan takes us on board her emotional rollercoaster, there is one question waiting to be answered. Will she or will she not have the baby adopted? Stephanie, Year 9
