A Book You Can Imagine Yourself In

Can't Get There From Here is just...awesome. While reading it I imagined myself in the book and I smelled what they smelled, tasted what they tasted, saw what they saw, and actually felt what they felt. Usually I don't pick up these kinds of books. But after reading this book and actually REALIZING that this happens to my generation today, makes me think about doing everything I can to help the homeless because we teenagers don't know how blessed we really are unless we don't have anything or don't get what we want. So I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. This book was so good, it made me think that I was trying to survive, and I just couldn't put this book down!

good book =D

I think this was a very well written book about how kids are all homeless and it teaches the reader that you cant be anything on the streets. No one will care if you die and you'll just be an unmarked grave. Which is what Country club probably was as we read in the second chapter that he passes away. I think this book has just the right amount of detail and dialouge. At first it didnt catch my attention but as you start to read more into the book its difficult to put it down. you wonder who will die next? what will happen to the rest of the characters? This book is also faced with a very young homeless girl named tears who is 12 years of age. She still has a chance to be somebody and get off the streets before its too late. You should deffinatly read this book.

can't get there with out this review

I thought that the book was really interesting expesuly how it toled you what you can and can't do on the streets or at last what is ok and what's not to good to do.Anuther thing I thought was interesting was it tolled you that your better off at home making friends ther on the streets,but if you end up on the streets it can help you thurght your life if you can under stand it.Ithank this is a vary interesting but if you are a imotional person than you better whach it becase it is a vary detaling/grafic book.

And 3 of then die so then theres just one kid left but u have to read the book to see what happens to that one struggling child

Street Kids

This book is about kids and teenagers that live on the streets.I think this book is kind of boring because if kids read this book,they might try and run away from home and become a street kid a start bad things like DRUGS.AND ALCOHOL.These kids might get into trouble with the law and get arrested.the book I am talking about is CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE.

Her street name is Maybe. She lives with a tribe of homeless teens -- runaways and throwaways, kids who have no place to go other than the cold city streets, and no family except for one another. Abused, abandoned, and forgotten, they struggle against the cold, hunger, and constant danger.

With the frigid winds of January comes a new girl: Tears, a twelve-year-old whose mother doesn't believe Tears's stepfather abuses her. As the other kids start to disappear -- victims of violence, addiction, and exposure -- Maybe tries to help Tears get off the streets...if it's not already too late.
