(4) YA Foster teen Stephen has secretly kept a crocodile (a gift from his real father) caged in the city reservoir for years. Now he struggles to contain the fully grown beast behind bars even as he tries to keep his own trouble-making self outside of them. Though the pace drags at times, vivid, complex characters coping with difficult situations will hold readers' interest.
