Three kids that nobody wants are on the run after one of them kills his parents and kidnaps his baby brother. The book follows their cross country trek and the hardships they face, eventually leading to one of their deaths and the promise of a new life for the protagonist, Custis, if he chooses to stay with his new guardian- the first to treat him good. Although this book was very dark, the writing is great. I really enjoyed this book, but can see it as a book that might be challenged by some adults. This made me wonder what librarians do in this case.
