Freda Doesn't Get Pregnant is a Level 3 reader which tells the story of a 13-year-old girl who thinks she is old enough to start a sexual relationship. The boy she has chosen is already a father, although he refuses to accept responsibility for his child. Freda's guardians are too busy with their own lives to think about her welfare, and so it is left to her brother and sister to think about her future - a future that would be ruined if she became pregnant.
