About the story

 

After being in the foster care system since he was 2 years-old, Gabe is finally placed with his Uncle Vernon. However Gabe's luck seems to have run out. He comes home from the first day of sixth grade to find his uncle's dead body. What will Gabe do? Will he run away, or be put back in foster care?

My opinion

This was a really great story of how a boy copes with loss and a life changing event. I really think my friends should read this story.
