Customer Reviews

Great book

This book is very unique. To start off with the format is very different, as Brian James does not use quotes or other normal grammar and punctuation. He also manages to successfully pull off a novel written in the present tense. (This is something VERY hard to do) He creates a realistic and captivating story about street kids, and the relationship that develops between a 15 year old girl who takes a younger girl under her wing to protect and essentially raise her. The book teaches a few good lessons, and has a surprise, twist ending that was one of the few that ever made me cry.

Captivating

It's not easy being fifteen and living on the streets of New York. It's especially not easy when you have a little girl to take care of too. Chan thinks she has it made until young Elizabeth wanders into her life. Chan instantly takes Elizabeth under her wing, protecting her as if she was her own child. The two develop a bond like no other, relying on each other for everything, but what happens when you start to grow up? What happens when you fall in love? What happens when it is time to let go? Is there bond truly strong enough to last forever? This page turner will keep you up all night long pondering love, family, and life. This is truly a book you do not want to miss.

Really great!

Although some parts of Tomorrow, Maybe are a little bit weird, it is a totally great book. it tells of a girl that ran away from home and meets elizabeth a 11 year old runaway. she learns to care for her. It's a touching book that almost made me bawl at the end! i recomend it to anyone.

a must read!

This captivating novel developes the story of one girls journey as she roams the streets of New York. Chan has been on the streets for several years with no one to depend on but herself. When she meets a younger girl, Elizabeth, she decides to take her in and care for her. Elizabeth helps Chan realize that life wasn't meant to be this way, that children shouldn't be on the streets. This causes Chan to make a plan of action, to get out of New York or merely to leave the life that she and Elizabeth are leading. This is a book you won't want to put down!

Staying with people she doesn't know if she can trust. Until she meets 11 year old Elizabeth, another run away girl who she cares for more than anything. This story is about their adventure as a team, through the rough streets of New York. I loved this book because it truly made me fall in love with the character. I loved how the plot was well planned and there was always something new and exciting coming into Chan's world.
