Description

New York:: Crown,, (1994). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First US printing. A look at life on the streets of a big city, dedicated to the "largely unsung, mostly unseen workers for young people in need." Shane "heads home past broken windows, graffiti-scribbled walls, dilapidated fences, and alleys strewn with trash. On the way, he avoids a group of tough boys and encounters a fierce dog, talking all the while to the stray kitten snuggled safely inside his jacket. Finally he crawls through a jagged hole in a chainlink fence and into the cozy, sheltered corner of an alley that he calls home.. . Soft, double-page, charcoal-pencil drawings [by Gregory Rogers] in muted shades of blue, brown, gray, and terra cotta on black backgrounds sharply contrast the brightness of signs, buildings, and rush-hour traffic with the secluded loneliness of dark alleys." (School Library Journal). A powerful collaboration between this Australian author and award-winning Australian illustrator. Large format unpaginated
