Street Kids: Is there hope?

This book was amazing! I loved the real life examples and just how truthful it really was. Street Kids shows how hard it is to be a teen on the streets and how it isn't just 'get up and live life on the streets'. Life on the streets is not easy; food is hard to come by, drugs are hard to give up and sex is almost the only to make some kind of income. There's pressure; there's danger there's dismal hope for a future and this book lets people know that. As a reader, I became more aware of just how serious the problem with Canada's runaways is.... well done Marlene Webber!
