This riveting story is about a fifteen-yearold boy who, as the story opens, realizes he
has no idea who he is—beyond his first name—or what has led to his loss of memory.
From the outset, he's on the run, a street kid thrust out on his own, living by
his wits and involved in a quest to find another lost teenager whose First Nations
father is desperate for news of his son. In the process, he learns to survive and begins
to get a sense of his strengths and character. Reviews
"Provides an eye-opening view of the hardships of those less fortunate whom we often
ignore."
–Kliatt
"A coming of age story with the threads of two mysteries woven through."
