Cheyenne and his little brother Joaquin have learned to survive an unstable life with their beautiful, unreliable mother by hoarding food, telling jokes for coins, and watching grown-ups like 'sight dogs.' When their mother vanishes and their beloved Aunt Amy suffers a devastating aneurysm, the boys hide out alone, scavenging and waiting. This tender, funny, heartbreaking middle-grade novel is narrated by a boy whose hard-won street smarts can't quite hide his longing for a real family—and the surprising rescue that finally arrives.
- A ten-year-old's survival guide to a chaotic childhood—told with heartbreak and humor in equal measure
- Two brothers hide out alone to keep their family together—and refuse to be split up
- A misunderstood 'ghost' uncle turns out to be the rescue they've been waiting for
- Perfect for readers who love resilient kid narrators like Maniac Magee or Bud, Not Buddy
“But no matter how sad your heart might be, your tummy always shouts louder.”
Perfect for a middle-grade reader (or an adult who loves child-narrator novels) drawn to resilient, resourceful kids facing tough family circumstances with humor and heart.
