Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Megan finished with her boyfriend, Luke, months ago and is looking forward to the exams being over, going on holiday with her best friend, and freedom. However, in an instant all this changes. In a Personal Development lesson her teacher tells the class: "Of course, it is possible to be pregnant and still have periods." In this moment Megan realises that this means that she could be pregnant--having only missed one period, and this months after she and Luke had done it, she had thought there was nothing to worry about. From the moment Megan realises she could indeed be pregnant, her emotions spiral out of control--how will her friends react? What will happen to her school work, her exams? And, worst of all, what will her mother say?

Mary Hooper treats the difficult subject of teenage pregnancy with sympathy and compassion. For someone who finds herself in the same situation as Megan, the novel is supportive, informative and encouraging in that it calmly portrays the options available, the involvement of the social services and the help available to a teenage mother. However, it in no way glamorises the reality of under-age sex and pregnancy. Megan is a cautionary tale to all teenagers, showing how easy it is for a girl to get pregnant and the consequences for the rest of that girl's life and the difficult decisions she will have to make. (Ages 12 and up) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

When I was younger I loathed reading, then a few authors helped me find my passion for books and Mary Hooper is one of those. I absoloutely love all the books of hers I've read and I was well aware the Megan series was a huge hit and after much anticipation I stumbled across the series in a bookshop and being as greedy as i am bought the whole lot ! I then raced home (ok- not quite) and i sat down on my bed and read and read and read until i had successfully finished the whole series !!!

Needless to say this series did not let my high expectations down, it is an excellent story, Hooper rly conveys the true feelings one might feel having discovered ur pregnant at such a tender age. She captures a whole host of emotions and the reader will be immediately drawn in and the excitement of the story never falls! This series is not just about pregnancy and the responsibilites that come with it; it is also about a normal girl caught up in a world which brings many obstacles and the way in which she has to cope and overcome these and what this leads to.

I can not highly enough praise this series- if you're interested in teenage pregnancy then the series is an excellent start although if you are pregnant yourself it would help to get a more practical help guide as well. And if you're just looking for a really good read then you've found one. If you're looking to give a book/series as a gift to your teenage girls in your life then I am almost certain they will love it and love you for showing them Megan's world.

It actually surprises me to say that I haven't re-read the series since that night because I have been enjoying many many other excellent books out there but I do so hope to read this series soon and I am sure I will keep it and give it to my daughter(s) if I have any. Other Mary Hooper books are also very very very good and if you like one; you will love them all !

It was a long time ago I read this series and I can still feel the emotion held within it to this day so it has truly left its mark. Bottom line: Loved the book, teenage pregnancy well captured, enthrilling read, well worth the read(s)! SO READ IT TODAY!!!!

p.s. hoped this review helped!

In this excellent book, Mary Hooper deals with the subject of teen pregnancy in a thoroughly realistic and non-judgemental way. Megan, the 15-year-old narrator, is horrified when she realises that she's pregnant. Too far gone to have an abortion, her options are to keep the baby or put it up for adoption. But Megan doesn't want to think about that; thinking about it makes it seem more real. At times it seems impossible that there's a baby growing inside her. She confides in her best friend, who drops hints in front of their other friends and finally tells the rest of the class, much to Megan's horror - she didn't think her best friend would betray her like that. Her mother isn't much help and thinks she's a slut; her ten-year-old sister, (10-going-on-30), is as prim and proper as an old Victorian lady; her dad is shocked. Megan's ex-boyfriend, Luke, the father of her child, is willing to help in whatever way he can, even though he's only in school and can't do much. The only person supporting Megan is her social worker, and she's paid to care, right? Megan attempts to make sense of this whole thing and realises that no matter what she does, this will change her life forever. Read this book! It's brilliant!

Megan (1) was an excellent book! Once I picked it up i couldn't put it down. Mary Hooper does a really good job showing young teenagers how hard it is to be a single and young mother. When I had finished Megan i just wanted to run out to the shop and buy the next one! I am definetly going to buy more Mary Hooper books!
