Friday Never Leaving

by Vikki Wakefield
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
In this wrenching, mesmerizing coming-of-age novel that Kirkus Reviews calls "lyrical, suspenseful, and haunting," Friday discovers what makes a family—and how to define home.
Friday Brown has never had a home. She and her mother live on the road, always on the move, running away from the past instead of putting down roots. Even when her mom dies, the only thing Friday knows how to do is keep moving.

Her journey takes her to an abandoned house where a bunch of street kids are squatting, and an intimidating girl named Arden holds court. Friday gets initiated into the group, but her relationship with Arden is precarious, and it puts Friday—and anyone who befriends her—at risk. With the threat of a dangerous confrontation growing, Friday has to decide between returning to her isolated, transient life, or trying to help the people she's come to care about—if she can make it out alive.
