THIS HARD-HITTING yet poignant novel shows that Barbara Haworth-Attard has as much talent with a contemporary setting as she does with her bestselling historical fiction titles. Sixteen-year-old Dylan is living on the streets, trying hard to understand how he got there. All he knows is that he doesn’t want to become like the other street kids around him, hooked on drugs and in debt to Brendan, a.k.a. Vulture. But as winter sets in, Dylan’s life becomes a desperate struggle to survive.

    A Worthwhile Book
    This book talks about the life of a teenager on the streets, we step into the shoes of Dylan and see how bad it is, when kids are out on the streets. This is a very good book to read, It's simple, it's realistic, it's true. I urge anyone reading this review to check it out.

    Great Book
    The book talks about a 16 years old kid who were kicked out of the house and was living in the streets. It actually makes you want to help out that poor guy who was out of the street panhandling for money to live. It's a great book for young people that are around 16 years old to read.
