Nik is deaf, Fatima is an refugee and Jimmi is a homeless vet, but what do they all have in common… New York. I will be honest I wasn’t sure how the author was going to make them all intertwine, but I was intrigued, hence why I chose this book. Basically the three aforementioned characters have their own personal demons/ struggles that they are trying to deal with. When all of their paths end up crossing they learn about friendship, trust and how harsh the world can be, while trying to survive on the streets of New York. The main thing I noticed about this particular book and what I would consider a strength is that it’s told from three different perspectives. Each chapter represents the point of view of one of the three characters. Therefore, the chapters are fairly short and it keeps you reading. This was a good, quick read and I would suggest it to struggling or reluctant readers in 6th grade on up.
