When Dan and his family go from middle class to homeless, issues of
injustice rise to the forefront in this relatable, timely novel from
Todd Strasser that VOYA calls "poignant," "darkly humorous," and
"exceptionally thought-provoking."
It seems like Dan has it all. He's a baseball star who is part of the
popular crowd and dates the hottest girl in school. Then his family
loses their home.
Forced to move into the town's Tent City, Dan feels his world shifting.
His friends try to pretend that everything's cool, but they're not the
ones living among the homeless. As Dan struggles to adjust to his new
life, he gets involved with the people who are fighting for better
conditions and services for the residents of Tent City. But someone
wants Tent City gone, and will stop at nothing until it's destroyed...
