Berlie Doherty's young adult novel, 'Dear Nobody', published in 1991, won the Carnegie Medal in the following year and has since been made into a radio play, a television screen-play, and a theatre script. The novel deals with teenage pregnancy and offers different characters with varied but credible reactions in modern Western societies.
