Boys Don't Cry Award-winning by Malorie Blackman (author) (UK edition)

Imagine. You’re waiting for the postman, about to receive your A-level results. University, a career in journalism… a glittering future lies ahead. But when the doorbell rings, it’s your old girlfriend, Mel. She’s turned up unexpectedly – with a baby. A baby which she says is yours. That’s bad enough. But then Mel nips out to buy some essentials, leaving you literally holding the baby. And she doesn’t come back… Hard-hitting, contemporary and totally page-turning, Malorie Blackman’s dramatic new novel is a must-read for every teenager.

“A story which, once read, will not easily go away.” Nicholas Tucker, Independent
