Can't get there from here

Her street name is Maybe She lives with a tribe of homeless teens -- runaways and throwaways, kids who have no place to go other than the cold city streets, and no family except for one another. Abused, abandoned, and forgotten, they struggle against the cold, hunger, and constant danger. With the frigid winds of January comes a new girl: Tears, a twelve-year-old whose mother doesn't believe her stepfather abuses her. As the other kids start to disappear -- victims of violence, addiction, and exposure -- Maybe tries to help Tears get off the streets...if it's not already too late. Todd Strasser, author of the powerful and disturbing Give a Boy a Gun, again focuses on an important social issue as he tells a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching story of young lives lost to the streets, and of a society that has forgotten how to care.

  • "Their name is the "Asphalt Tribe". They are eight kids trying to survive on the streets of New York City: Rainbow, the junkie, Maggot, the anarchist, 2Moro and her friend Jewel, who go clubbing all night and engage in survival sex. There is also OG and his dog Pest, a young girl called Tears, and Maybe, the narrator. Maybe gives a candid and moving account about their chilling nights and dire days, about social workers and pimps, about pride and the struggle not to give in. But, the price these kids pay for their freedom is high and takes a cruel toll."
