The First Part Last by Angela Johnson

"This little thing with the perfect face and hands doing nothing but counting on me. And me wanting nothing else but to run crying into my own mom's room and have her do the whole thing.

It's not going to happen...."

This quick read was a fresh take on an old problem. Told through the eyes of the father, Angela Johnson's novel brings a new perspective to teenage pregnancy.

What did you think about the book?

I agree...I thought it was great to finally have the 'guys' point of view and it is just as tough! Teenage pregnancy is more than most kids bargain for! I hope you can join our group next month!
