Written by Diane C. Mullen
A very different book in terms of writing style. The chapters are extremely short, which reluctant readers might enjoy, with lots of dialogue as well. The main character, Liam, has been growing up in the projects of Minneapolis, MN and is getting into trouble. His mom, a single mother, decides to take action and sends him off to a close friend in Michigan. Liam’s life changes for the good, but with challenges.
