Another dead teenager book I came across while looking for something else

[rachelmanija]

It Happened to Nancy, by Anonymous (actually, by Beatrice Sparks, author of many other cautionary tales about dead, anonymous teenagers.)

"From Booklist. Gr. [grades] 7-12. Fourteen-year-old Nancy, an asthmatic, meets 18-year-old Collin, a gentle, caring young man who appears to be the answer to her dreams--until he rapes her, leaving her HIV-infected."

And the moral of this is... don't get raped?

Gratuitously Asthmatic would make a great name for a rock band.
