READABILITY: Sixth grade INTEREST LEVEL: Seventh through twelfth grade REVIEWS 'Here's a novel that really sneaks up on you.The substance of the novel develops rather slowly.

It's prefaced by some wry, irresistible scenes that replicate the exquisite tortures of high-school crushes while setting the stage for the tragedy. Then, with graceful ease, Cooney slips back and forth from Remy to Morgan, to give readers a glimpse of the different ways the teenagers handle their nightmarish burden and their families'--especially their mothers'--reactions. A poignant, realistic novel, with nicely drawn characters and a vintage metaphor that's actually refreshing: a driver's license (not first sex) is the 'ticket out of childhood.'

Elizabeth Bush. (Recommended) 'Cooney uses her familiar fast-paced, conversational style throughout the novel. As the action intensifies, the sentences get shorter and more pointed. This stylistic device intensifies the drama and underlines the horror of the situation.

Great literature this is not. However, the simple plot, told from Remy and Morgan's alternating viewpoints, is in no way simplistic, as it takes on sensitive issues and deals with them in a compelling manner. The overriding tension and the theme of an innocent prank backfiring into tragedy will attract teens and heighten the book's appeal.' School Library Journal 40(8):168 August 1994. '.difficult to put down for its intensity.The frightening aspect of the events in the story is that it could happen anywhere, because the risks teenagers take are universal.
