Personal Response: Ten Mile River brings a story of teens who are surviving in the absence of elders, who survive despite people offering to help them. Interesting modern take on the homeless, juvenile delinquency and runaways of today. Curricular or Programming Connections: The effect of homeless, juvenile delinquents as runaways in society.
FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD Ray is a boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a passion for reading and a desire to better himself: a familiar figure from a library's worth of books. To his credit, debut author Paul Griffin takes this character and a few other cliches and does some interesting things with them. The most powerful feature of the book is the friendship between the boys, captured in all its contradictions. The loyalty that is so often portrayed as wholly positive has its downfalls here. This and the open ending are just two of the complexities that raise Ten Mile River above the ordinary. Hæderspriser
Having escaped from juvenile detention centers and foster care, two teenaged boys live on their own in an abandoned shack in a New York City park, making their way by stealing, occasionally working, and trying to keep from being arrested. No library descriptions found. |
