Description
Luna Begay is as studious and serious about her Indian heritage as her sister, Issy, is outgoing and fun. When Issy convinces Luna to go with her to a party full of rich kids, the night turns bad when Luna is drugged and raped. Feeling ashamed that she will be perceived as an "Indian slut," Luna doesn't tell anyone and remains in denial until Issy figures out that Luna is pregnant. Knowing that her decisions will affect her parents and Issy as much as her own future, Luna has to work out how to deal with the consequences of that one night, and she has to do it fast.

With Interesting characters and a fast moving plot, this book should appeal to both middle and high school girls. The subject matter is relevant and has many topics that could spark lively classroom discussions. I particularly liked that Luna decided to give the baby up for adoption.
I found this to be a touching story all too common in teen life today. The relationship the sisters have is truly special. I think it is a good read for teens because it is a cautionary tale that reminds you there are options and that it is important to stand up for yourself and the ones you love.
