(3) YA Seven homeless adolescents survive hand-to-mouth on the gritty streets of Los Angeles. Each chapter of the novel--narrated by a different character--reads like a heart-rending monologue of abuse, drugs, loneliness, and hunger. Both in pain and capable of inflicting it, the realistic characters offer a window into the world of streetwise yet vulnerable homeless teens.
