The Roundabout

By Stuart Tanner

He passed his test. Then his girlfriend said two words: "I'm pregnant."

Seventeen-year-old Leo thought freedom meant an open road.

Now it means choosing between bus fare and baby wipes.

Between A-levels and night feeds.

Between the dad he fears becoming... and the man he's trying to be.

As Jess battles postnatal depression and their flat feels like it might collapse around them, Leo must learn that fatherhood isn't about being ready-it's about staying.

Raw, real, and written with unflinching compassion, The Roundabout is the YA novel young dads-and the people who love them-have been waiting for.

For readers of Heartstopper, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and A Little Life (but make it British, working-class, and hopeful).

"A lifeline for anyone who's ever felt too young to carry this much love."
