CM Magazine
"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."
TriState YA Book Review
"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."
The Horn Book Guide
"Zach's shifting emotions—confusion, doubt, guilt, fear, resolve—are realistic."
Tucson Unified School District
"A great story to read [that] keeps you wondering what is going to happen next."
