This is a book about a teen dad, Matt caring for his daughter Mahalia. Mahilia's mother Emmy couldn't cope under the pressure and leaves Matt and Mahalia. It is nice when reading a teen pregnancy book when the authors have the fathers sticking around, even though it does get a lot of critical responses.
I love that this book is set in Australia, since quite a few of the books I read are American, since it is an Australian book it made the issues in it seem so much more realistic. I love the main character [Matt] who is so protective and determined to care for Mahalia. This is an beautifuextremely realistic book, it is not packed with action or have amazing events, it follows a teenage boy struggling to raise his daughter. Reading the book seriously makes you want to scream Matt on with encouragement, tell him not to give up, that he is a wonderful father and the fact that he is so afraid to fail makes him an even better father. I would recommend this to any teenager to show what can result in a teenage pregnancy, that it is hard to raise a kid.
