ALSO BY THIS AUTHOR:
After his mom dies and the landlord
kicks him out, Jonathon, age 12, is
on streets. He finds a new home in an
abandoned underground mall populated
by kids called “Undergrounders.”
Jonathon learns to survive by running
errands, making deliveries and
panhandling for money.
An escape from the streets comes when
Jonathan helps himself to some hockey
gear that he “finds” in an unlocked store
after hours. Jonathon heads to the local
rink, where he impresses some regular
kids who ask him to join their team. He
agrees, knowing he can never tell them
that he’s homeless. Playing hockey helps
Jonathon feel normal again, but keeping
his double life a secret proves to be more
dangerous than he ever imagined.
