The Boy Who Steals Houses by C.G. Drews
5.0
This book can be summed up in four words:
Breaking a tragic cycle.
It's about a boy who had to fight life from childhood - abandoned by his mother, his father dumped him and his autistic older brother on an aunt who wasn't prepared or willing to deal with a special-needs child. They grew up and Sam grew violent trying to fend off the bullies, who also failed to understand Avery.
And now he's trapped. His violence has landed him on the streets and he still has to look out for his older brother.
And he's still only fifteen.
But the beauty of this book is that it shows that, no matter how deep you get, cycles CAN be broken. Good people do exist, and help can be found.
And Cait's writing style is just art, okay? Pardon me, a moment. Someone's chopping invisible onions. I need to go tell them to stop.
