Description

Spike is 14 years old -- and pregnant. She is faced with many decisions and many questions -- from her boyfriend, Shane, her mum, and her friends. It's not easy, but Spike is no quitter, as she demonstrates in this stirring novelization of one of the most controversial and groundbreaking series storylines shown on Canadian television.

Editorial Review

"Myths that adolescents have about pregnancy and the responsibilities of having a child at such a young age are explored in a sensitive manner ... A tremendously poignant read that the audience would find difficult to put down."
