OLDER FICTION
Griffin, Paul

Ten Mile River

(3) YA Big, book-smart Ray takes his orders from trash-talking José. The two are teenage runaways, in and out of foster care and juvenile facilities for petty crimes. About to go straight, they pull one last theft, which goes awry. The story's unflinching depiction of teenage street life is tough and gritty, with a glimmer of hope for Ray at the end.
