A local response to homelessness

Ben’s discovery that Lucy is experiencing homelessness brings a personal relationship into contact with a wider community issue. Together, they organize classmates and neighbors around their town’s housing crisis, carrying their campaign to city hall and securing permission to reopen an abandoned trailer park. The story links that civic effort with Lucy’s immediate need for shelter and the changing connection between the two teens. Its central subjects are youth-led community action, housing insecurity, and the ways a local crisis can shape relationships.

Book overview

Mike Levitt tackles the challenging topic of homelessness and offers a realistic story of teens finding a way to take the issue on.

When Ben learns that Lucy, the popular track star and girl of his dreams, is experiencing homelessness, the two take on their town's housing crisis together. Rallying their classmates and community, they take their campaign all the way to city hall and win permission to reopen an abandoned local trailer park. There, Lucy and her mother finally have a roof over their heads. As the story unfolds, Ben and Lucy find their connection deepening into something more than just friendship.
