Belly Up

Sarah Sammis

After so many teen pregnancy books where the pregnant teen is often absent from the narrative, Belly Up was delightfully refreshing. In the middle grade books I've read, the teen mother is the older sister and ends up being a huge burden/disruption to the family. If she's not banished to the heartbreak of the sibling protagonist, her baby ends up being the responsibility of the younger sister. As Sara is an only child, none of that can happen, giving room for her to go through character development instead.
