(4) YA "I have to find a way that I can show them / I'm not a saint and I can raise some hell." In this verse novel, fifteen-year-old Molly makes herself over to attract the new bad-boy at school. She gets pregnant and faces a difficult, life-changing decision. Some plot elements are forced, but varied poetic forms keep Molly's narration engaging.
