Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEW. Third printing. 157pp. Small Octavo [17.5cm] Paperback. NEW. From the back cover: "In these pages, you'll meet kids who don't have it easy. They live in shabby neighborhoods and don't have nice clothes to wear. For them, the school yard can be even more dangerous than the street. Their lives are uncertain; there are no guarantees, no promises. But these kids are risk takers. They are survivors. And they will find themselves, even if they have to do it the hard way.".
