But when Alica gets pregnant Sam can not find any answer in TH's book. He got so frustrated that he ran away to a place named Hastings, to find a answer.

I think this a interesting book, witch have a very importante subject. It takes up subject and problemes that is normal for a teenager and it is not always so easy to talk about them. It has a funny angle to talk about it.

Skildring

Oppg. 7, s. 76:

Når du er på vei ut på en fotballbane før kamp er du alltid litt spent. Vis det er en viktig kamp er du ekstra nervøs fordi du vet at du må prestere bra. Du lurer alltid på hvordan det kommer til å gå: Kommer dette til å bli din dag tenker du? Det vet du aldri. Du ser på motstanderlaget. Er de gode? Det vet du heller ikke. Du må bare forberede deg best mulig og være klar for å gi alt!

Under kampen har du også mange tanker. Kanskje blir du sint pga. at en på laget gjør veldig mye feil, eller at du ikke scorer på et skudd.

Etter kampen sitter du enten igjen med den fantastiske følelsen fordi ditt lag vant eller sitter du igjen med bitterheten av taptet. Du kan også være irritert over en spesiell situasjon i kampen. Det kan du bli uansett om du vinner eller taper.
