• Juno directed by Jason Reitman (2007)

  [8/10]

  "Juno does a good job at portraying a particular girl's experience with teen pregnancy, although I don't think you can extend this portrait much beyond Juno's character since she has more self-confidence and personal determination than most adults."

• Me and My Little Brain by John D. Fitzgerald (1971)

  [8/10]

  "I find this the most touching of all the Great Brain books. It tells a story of true brotherly love developing between John and Frankie, and the emotions John feels as he changes from hating Frankie to laying his life on the line to rescue the adopted brother he has come to adore."
