Jarrett is used to having a revolving door of babies in his house. After all his Mother is a foster parent who takes in the babies temporarily while they find a more permanent place for them. All that changes the day his mother takes 2 year old Treasure - and her 12 year old brother, Kevon after Treasure was hurt at home and no parent could be located. Right from the start Jarrett and Kevon don't get along. Jarrett resents having to share his room, and Kevon resents having someone else taking care of Treasure. Jarrett just knows Kevon is lying about what happened to Treasure, and is determined to find out what happened. But can he handle the consequences? Can the two of them ever become friends? Booth does a fantastic job in capturing the emotions of these boys on the page as well as building a story that you will find hard to put down. Winner of the Washington State Sasquatch Award, this is one book everyone should read. For grades 5th and up.
