Allegedly by by Tiffany D. Jackson
Tania Sanjuan
Summary
Allegedly is a book about a girl named Mary, at the age of nine she was accused of killing a three month old baby named that her and her mom used to take of. But did Mary really do it? Mary was sent to juvi which she calls "baby jail," then moved to a group home where she is not liked, wanted, needed, or loved. Now Mary is now 15 and pregnant by a teen named Ted, and finds out that she can not keep her baby, will Mary confess to crime and what really happen? or have her baby taken away and finish her time?
Critical Evaluation
I would give this book a 10/10 because This book teaches us a lot about, love, and everyday lives. We also learn more about how the teens in group homes live, and how they feel about being a group home. When we are stuck in position when its your life what do we do? Do we take the blame and got to jail or prove your innocents? When Mary kills a 3 month old child everyone blames it on her and instead of having a supportive mother. Her mother leaves her with guilt.
