How Not to Disappear

(4) YA British seventeen-year-old Hattie has just learned that she's pregnant when a heretofore unknown relative emerges. Sharp-tongued Great-aunt Gloria "know[s] about secrets" and, facing dementia, enlists Hattie to take her on a road trip so she can reveal her own story before she forgets. Teen pregnancy, relationship abuse, and dementia make this an issue-laden tale, but Hattie's present and Gloria's past interweave tantalizingly.
