kind bothered her' -
Karen doesn't want to get
mixed up with Zoe at all,
let alone listen to
Zoe's shocking secret -
that Zoe is pregnant!
Then, some months later,
a baby is found
abandoned and Zoe
suddenly claims that her
previous confession had
been made up. Karen is
devastated. For Zoe's
actions force her to
examine her own thoughts
about her own traumatic
past (she, too, was
found as a baby,
abandoned, and is now
adopted). When Karen
realises what she must
do, she finds it's a
step into the spotlight -
for Zoe, unlike Karen,
really can't keep a
secret...

This is the diary of a
15-year-old girl
experiencing first love,
first sexual experience -
and then an accidental
pregnancy.
Characteristically, Ros
Asquith tells the story
with a mix of seriousness
and frivolity. And it's
not just about the
pregnancy. This is the
story of Amy (who longs
to be a rock star); her
best friends Lottie, Mad
Alice and Debbie (also
known as the band, Black
Hole); her crazy home
life with her dad (who's
having an affair with the
actress over the road),
mum and a pair of chaotic
little twin sisters; her
school (also known as KFC
or Broadmoor); her trip
to the Glastonbury
Festival - and - and - in
other words, all the
normal stuff of being a
teenager. The UK has one
of the highest incidences
of teen pregnancy in the
world. It's a non-stop
media story. As with all
Ros Asquith's previous
books, she's researched
the subject carefully and
visited teenage mum
groups. There will be a
list of advice lines and
websites at the back of
the book.
