Review

"A gritty, realistic story that chronicles the fear, confusion, and solitude that comes with teen parenthood. Told from the unique perspective of a teenage father, Reaction would make an excellent addition to libraries that already have stories about teenage pregnancy told from the mother's perspective The high interest / low reading level of this book makes it highly accessible to teen readers and reading it would be a solid start for a discussion about teenage pregnancy. Recommended." (CM Magazine 20100901)

"Zach's shifting emotions—confusion, doubt, guilt, fear, resolve—are realistic." (The Horn Book Guide )

"A very frank and readable account of teenage pregnancy The reactions of the teens and their families are realistically portrayed [and] high school students will enjoy this book for its honesty and readability." (TriState YA Book Review )
