The bright Lizzie has big plans, but can she have the life she wanted, with a baby in tow? What will her family and friends say? And what will the baby’s father choose to do: stay out of it, or stand by her?
Proof Positive is powerful, pro-choice YA that is perfect for fans of John Green, Judy Blume and Sarah Dessen.
PRAISE FOR PROOF POSITIVE: ‘If you enjoy teen fiction then you need to read this book. If you don’t enjoy teen fiction - you still need to read this book. I have – and felt every frustrated, tense, joyous, heart-rending, angry, gleeful moment along with Lizzie and her parents, family and friends.’ – Jenny Kane, author of ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE and ABI’S HOUSE
‘Proof Positive was a book that as soon as I started reading I knew I couldn’t put it down until I’d finished.’ – Katy’s Book Cave
‘This is a very well written, thought-provoking book that I found to be highly addictive!’ – Donna’s Book Blog
‘Proof Positive is a touching and honest book which will resonate with many teenagers, whether they have personal experience of a teen pregnancy, have supported a friend or just wondered what decision they would make if they had to.’ – Hair Past A Freckle
‘An emotionally absorbing book teenagers and parents alike should read.’ – On The Shelf Reviews ‘Proof Positive is a powerful read aimed at young adults, but personally I think it should be read by all age groups. Being a young single mum, or choosing not to be, is an incredibly brave decision either way and many of us have no concept of the emotions involved when faced with such a life changing event.’ – Books Are My Cwtches
‘Lizzie is a wonderful and refreshing character who goes through this journey as she tries to find out what she wants.’ – Sean’s Book Reviews
