Doormat — Kelly McWilliams

WHAT WOULD YOU DO if your best friend got pregnant?

Fourteen-year-old Jaime is used to her best friend, Melissa, being the center of attention. Melissa wants to be a model -- she's beautiful, popular, and talented. There's just one small problem -- Melissa thinks she's pregnant, and she wants Jaime's help. But there's not much Jaime can do. Melissa refuses to tell her parents; Jaime refuses to be the same old reliable doormat. She's got a lead in the school play and a new friendship with Zach. Jaime is changing, too. And she's sick of being stepped on!

Fifteen-year-old Kelly McWilliams's debut novel is an inspiring story about friendship, choices, and learning how to shine.
