Book overview

"I grab my clean clothes from the back seat and walk across the parking lot to the men's restroom. It's filthy, and the floor is wet. But I'm used to it now because we've been living here for almost two months."

 

These are the words of Doyle Kemp, a homeless tenth grader who lives in a car with his mom. He feels hopeless, alone, and afraid. Follow him in his quest to succeed in school and build a better life for himself.
