"A gritty, realistic story that chronicles the fear, confusion, and solitude that comes with teen parenthood. Told from the unique perspective of a teenage father, Reaction would make an excellent addition to libraries that already have stories about teenage pregnancy told from the mother's perspective…The high interest/low reading level of this book makes it highly accessible to teen readers and reading it would be a solid start for a discussion about teenage pregnancy. Recommended." - CM Magazine
"A very frank and readable account of teenage pregnancy…The reactions of the teens and their families are realistically portrayed…[and] high school students will enjoy this book for its honesty and readability." - TriState YA Book Review
"Zach's shifting emotions—confusion, doubt, guilt, fear, resolve—are realistic." - The Horn Book Guide
"A great story to read [that] keeps you wondering what is going to happen next." - Tucson Unified School District
