But this one was a little different. With everyone over 18 infertile, teenage girls are paid for getting pregnant, and it&#8217;s the &#8216;in&#8217; fashion to wear fake baby bumps and things. As I recall, it was a bit more light-hearted than your typical dystopia. Not that it wasn&#8217;t clearly dystopic! I was looking [[#|forward]] to the sequel. I&#8217;ll have to look that up. I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads at the time I read it. &#8211; Jan 2013, Julie &#8211; Nashua PL &#8212;- The sequel\/conclusion (Thumped) was okay, except riddled with typos and with a glaring quidditch error! Dude, if you think beaters throw quaffles, then you need to not include quidditch in your book! &#8211; Feb 2013 &#8211; Julie A.<\/p>\n<p>I [[#|agree]], light-hearted. I think I prefer the &quot;heavier&quot; ones because I only gave it 2 stars on Goodreads. I just read the second one, <em>Thumped<\/em>, and also gave it 2 stars. I wished there was more to the plot. &#8211; Cristy Smith, Pembroke Academy<\/p>\n<p>This was a bit more light-hearted, which may be a good introduction to teens who haven&#8217;t dipped into dystopian novels yet. I think the pregnancy aspect will really grab teen&#8217;s attention. It seemed a bit ridiculous, but I thought it was a great read.<br \/><strong>Brittany Moore &#8211; Hall Memorial Library<\/strong>      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FlumeAward &#8211; Bumped Bumped by Megan McCafferty One of those dystopias with a female protagonist!
