I love this book. Im not usually a big reader, but for some reason I really wanted to read this one. Once I picked it up, I just couldn't put it down. It is very educational for girls my age, 15, to remember to have safe sex or no sex at all. When you become sexually active, be sure your mom knows. She won't be very upset with you if you just tell her. Trust me, I know.

What Parents Need to Know
About November Blues
Parents need to know that, as books about teen pregnancy go, this one is pretty mild -- no sex scenes, and no glossing over the difficulties.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the issues this book raises. Why do adults insist that teens should not have sex? How will the baby affect November's life in the future? Is the level of support and understanding she receives from her mother and friends realistic? Why does November want to have, and keep, the baby? Should her mother have insisted she give it up to Josh's parents for adoption? Why or why not?

This is a great book, it teaches young teens that they should have protective sex, because if they dont it will result to pregnancy at a young age taking on the responsibility of an adult... its better to have save sex than to be sorry u ruined your young life by having a baby at a young age... Kids shouldn't grow up as fast, be a kid while you can, dont rush and want to be adults.

I think this book is a good book for kids and parents to read because it can tell parents that they can forgive their kids if they do anything bad!! and its a good book to kids because if there are kids with low self esteem like olivia they can be as powerful as olia was!!
