For my summer reading, I read a book called Can't Get There From Here by Todd Strasser. In this book, a group of homeless children who call themselves the "Asphalt Tribe" struggle to survive in the harsh New York City winter. I chose this book because I enjoy metaphorically putting myself into others' shoes, and gaining knowledge and insight from their unique perspectives. The book describes troubled homes, starvation, death, suicide, loneliness, and other negative emotions that may or may not be relatable to some people. I enjoyed every aspect of the book, and would highly recommend it. It is insightful and thought provoking.
