Realistic Fiction




firstThis is a very deep book about the relationship between a young father and his baby. He and his girlfriend make a mistake that will end up lasting them a lifetime. Then tragedy strikes his girlfriend, which forces him to care for the baby all by himself. This poor boy has no idea what he’s doing and now must throw his whole life away just because of one little mistake. He can never go out and have fun, and has almost no time for school. He ends up realizing what a big responsibility a baby really is and how he has to take care of this baby for at least the next 18 years and the thought of it scares him to death.

I really liked this book. It was very short and defiantly an easy read. I feel that it teaches a really good lesson about responsibility. I advise you to read this if you like reading sad books. It will only take a couple of days to read, so why not read it? You’ve got nothing to lose!
