When forced to choose between staying with her guardian and being with her big brother, Ari chose her big brother. Theres just one problem Gage didnt actually have a place to live. How can Ari keep up with school, her best friend, and middle-school applications when shes couch surfing a night here with Gages friend in a tiny apartment, a night there with Gages girlfriend and her two roommates and even, when necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter? Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have readers thinking about homelessness in a whole new way.
