Non Pratt: book signing and discussion

Blue Willow Bookshop presents Non Pratt on Tuesday, June 10 at 7:00pm.  She will discuss and sign Trouble, her debut novel for young adults.

In this dazzling debut novel, a pregnant teen learns the meaning of friendship—from the boy who pretends to be her baby’s father.

When the entire high school finds out that Hannah Shepard is pregnant via her ex-best friend, she has a full-on meltdown in her backyard. The one witness (besides the rest of the world) is Aaron Tyler, a transfer student and the only boy who doesn’t seem to want to get into Hannah’s pants.

Confused and scared, Hannah needs someone to be on her side. Wishing to make up for his own past mistakes, Aaron does the unthinkable and offers to pretend to be the father of Hannah’s unborn baby. Even more unbelievable, Hannah hears herself saying “yes.”

Told in alternating perspectives between Hannah and Aaron, Trouble is the story of two teenagers helping each other to move forward in the wake of tragedy and devastating choices. As you read about their year of loss, regret, and hope, you’ll remember your first, real best friend—and how that relationship was like a first love.
