I would say it gives you an idea of what if really feels like to have nobody, the live on the streets with nowhere to go and no one to help you. I choses this book because I wondered what it would be like to live on the streets. A decent YA read about a youth trying to find his way through homelessness. Superficial characterization (the bad mother vs. the good grandparents, the bad pimp vs. the good advocates for homeless people) was a disappointment, and the author really missed some opportunities to break through stereotypes of homeless people beyond the main character. The author's note at the end left a sour taste in my mouth. The book should speak for itself. An endnote that advises teens on how to help the homeless on a personal and systemic level might have been appreciated by anyone touched by the novel, but this note manages to be preachy and condescending without offering any useful information. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When his volatile mother throws him out of the house and he loses contact with his two younger brothers, sixteen-year-old Dylan is forced to live on the streets and beg for money, yet through it all, he finds a way to survive. My fingers search the cardboard container, but I've finished the fries. I squirt ketchup on my fingers and lick it off. I'm never full. I think it was one of the reasons I had to leave, or, rather, my mother kicked me out. Jenna's a runaway, but I'm a throwaway, tossed out, like garbage. Keep your wits about you. Check your back. Do what it takes to survive on the streets. Dylan is living on the streets not through any choice of his own, unlike some of the teenagers he meets in the same situation. He's been cut loose by his unstable mother, and lost most contact with his two younger brothers. He has nothing but his backpack stuffed with a few precious belongings and the homeless kids he meets. At least he has his theories. No one can take those away from him. Like how every fourth person throws him spare change; how no one does anything for anyone without a price; and how he just might be able to find a place in this complicated world. Disturbing, gritty, painful, hopeful, his is a story of a sixteen-year-old determined to survive against all odds. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
