Baby Love

Written by Jacqueline Wilson, published by Puffin UK

We’re going back to 1960. One summer. One secret. One life-changing moment.

When 14-year-old Laura meets charming French exchange student Léon, everything shifts. Her moods, her body, and then… a shocking discovery.

Sent away to protect her family’s reputation, she finds herself among girls just like her. Cast aside, yet stronger together. In a world that’s turned its back on them, they create their own kind of family.

A powerful, emotional read about love, loss, and friendship in a time when girls had no say.
Not suitable for younger readers.
