Girls on the verge

Camille couldn't be having a better summer. But on the very night she learns she got into a prestigious theatre program, she also finds out she's pregnant.

She definitely can't tell her parents. And her best friend, Bea, doesn't agree with the decision Camille has made. She is forced to try to solve her problem alone . . . and the system is very much working against her. At her most vulnerable, Camille reaches out to Annabelle Ponsonby, a girl she only barely knows from the theatre.

Happily, Annabelle agrees to drive her wherever she needs to go. And in a last-minute change of heart, Bea decides to come with. Girls on the Verge is a timely novel about a woman's right to choose.

Sharon Biggs Waller brings to life a narrative that has to continue to fight for its right to be told, and honoured.
