The author of the powerful Give a Boy a Gun again focuses on an important social issue as he tells a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching story of young lives lost to the streets, and of a society that has forgotten how to care.
As the other kids start to disappear--victims of violence, addiction, and exposure--Maybe tries to help Tears get off the streets...if it\'s not already too late..
With the frigid winds of January comes a new girl: Tears, a twelve-year-old whose mother doesn\'t believe her husband is abusive.
Abused, abandoned, and forgotten, they struggle against weather, hunger, and constant danger.
She lives with a tribe of homeless teens--runaways and throwaways, kids who have no place to go other than the cold city streets, and no family except for one another.
Her street name is Maybe.
A powerful and disturbing look at the downward spiral of despair that remains too common for too many teens ( School Library Journal ).
