I'll Be There

by Holly Goldberg Sloan

Brothers Sam and Riddle are drifters. Their father is a petty criminal, who simply runs to the next location when he feels the law closing in. They don't go to school, have never used a cell phone, and eat what they can, when they can. When by chance Sam meets Emily Bell, he feels a strong connection to her, and she to him. As their unlikely friendship grows, Emily introduces Sam and Riddle to her upper middle class family, who have never seen the likes of these boys. Slowly, and in unexpected ways, the two become entwined with the entire Bell family. To say any more would spoil the suspense as this novel takes a turn from light romance to nail-biting adventure, and a story of physical and emotional survival.

Thanks to Mrs. Smolka for recommending this one to me!
