Where do I even start.? This is one of few books where if a 6th star was available I would utilize it. This is outside my normal murder/mystery genre but it sounded like a well thought out unique story and it sure was. I am Canadian myself so the thought of a 14 year old girl learning to fend for herself on the streets of Toronto was heart wrenching. Add in her dog and a missing father and you have the makings of an epic story. I literally could not put this book down I read it in one sitting and I cried like a baby at the end. This book had everything one could ask for, GREAT characters (and I mean truly amazingly developed characters), suspense and fear, a plot twist and one heck of an ending. This will be a book I reread for sure and one I will be buying for my 18 year old daughter as soon as it is released as I’m certain she will enjoy it too. I am already trying to hunt down the other book for this author and I certainly hope to see more from her. Well done!

Fourteen-year-old Harbour is living in a tent in a Toronto ravine with her dog, Tuff Stuff. Harbour is forced to face the reality that she is homeless and accept the help of a homeless girl named Lise to survive on the streets. Homelessness isn’t the only reality Harbour must face.

The book would be a good read for YA. The social issues of mental illness and homeless youth is carefully addressed.
