Zach and Ashley have been going out for a while, and things are going well—until Ashley finds out she is pregnant.

She is angry and blames Zach. She wouldn't be in this state if he hadn't been so careless. Insistent at first on an abortion, she turns against Zach. Confused, Zach struggles with what he should do and what his responsibilities are. Coming to terms with the reactions of their families and friends, Zach realizes that this is a decision that he and Ashley must make together.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read! Available in Spanish as Reacción.

      "Zach, I'm pregnant." With these words, Ashley changes sixteen-year-old Zach's life. Zach tries to support Ashley, but it isn't easy; she's angry, her dad's angry, and Zach isn't sure he can handle being a parent. Though the complex topic is greatly simplified in this short book aimed toward reluctant readers, Zach's shifting emotions--confusion, doubt, guilt, fear, resolve--are realistic.
