i dont want informational book i want novels!What are some good novels on teenage pregnancy?
Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson. Mainly about a girl who wants to be accepted to MIT. This is a very internal conflict for the girl since her mother (deceased) attended MIT. She's an honors student, and great at science, but she just can't seem to be happy. Her father is a minister, and she feels pressured by him to be perfect. She happens to think of him as a hypocrite and she misses her mother. Other sub-characters include her boyfriend, friends, and a school outcast who plays an integral part to the story.
I won't say WHO is the one that was pregnant though.What are some good novels on teenage pregnancy?
I recently read this book called ';Where the Heart is'; by Billie Letts and really enjoyed it. At the start the language used annoyed me a bit (the characters don't speak proper English) but after a while you get used to it and it really shows more of the characters' personalities. It is the story of Novalee Nation who was abandoned by her boyfriend at a Wallmart store, 7 months pregnant with their child with all of seven dollars and seventy-seven cents. It is a touching story of the generosity of strangers. I'd recommend this book to anyone. I hope you like it too.
'Blue moon' and then 'Baby Blue' by Julia Green deal brilliantly with these issues.

Danielle Steel- The Gift (prepare to cry!)
The only one I can think of at the moment may be tricky to find, but it is a good read. It is called Easy Connections by Liz Berry. The main character is a teen who gets pregnant and is not too happy about it. There is also a sequel called Easy Connections which is equally as good. I've seen copies recently on amazon. Enjoy.
