Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Casey returns to an empty home, her stepmother missing. With no family and fearing foster care, she faces a dilemma when the landlord's son offers help at a cost. Accepting means breaking the law, but refusing leaves her uncertain of survival. As Casey navigates this precarious situation, she must decide how far she's willing to go to stay afloat. Will she risk everything for a chance at stability, or find another way out of her predicament?

From the publisher

When twelve-year-old Casey came home to an empty apartment, she didn’t think much of it. But when she wakes up the next morning, and her stepmother, Sylvia, still hasn’t come home, she knows that something is wrong. Casey doesn’t have any other family–and she’s afraid that the police will put her in foster care, so when landlord’s teenaged son offers to help, Casey is more than willing to accept. Until, she learns that his help comes at a price. If Casey says yes, she’ll be breaking the law. If she says no, she doesn’t know how she’ll survive.
