 * Ms. Paradis, September 2012: I LOVE this one. After a boy's mom abandons him at a campsite in Maine, he realizes he HAS to get home to Boston before the police realize he's all alone and report him to the authorities. He knows he could end up in foster care, and his mom could get into serious trouble. The story of how he gets home and the many adventures along the way are clever and keep you turning pages. One of my favorite books on this list--and a very possible vote from me.**

 * An amazing book. When a boy is abandoned by his mother he has to travel from Maine to his home in Massachusetts. But he does not know how to travel. He thinks it is all his fault. I would vote for this book!**

Zach Ritter 2/2/14 This book is about a boy who lives with his mom. They go on a trip, and at the campground he finds out his mother has abandoned him and he has to resort to stealing and using leftover resources in order to find his way home. He thinks about it and says "If I go tell the police, they will take me away from my mom because she abandoned me" and he doesn't want that, but he's left with a dark thought after all that: can he really forgive his mom for leaving him? This was a good book and it had an intense story where the boy had to teach himself to survive. I would recommend it to people who like books which involve a lot of traveling around and walking (like The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkein). I might possibly vote for this book, but I want to consider several before I select one.
