With their mother in the hospital and their father's whereabouts unknown, two boys take to the streets of New York to escape being sent to a children's shelter.
I first read this book in the fourth grade, and it broke my heart to think that anyone would have to go through the things that these boys went through. It is a wonderful book about love, loss and growing up. This book would be good for ages 10-13.
