review 1: I read Ten Mile River by Paul Griffin. Now there are two major characters that the story is centered on. First there is Jose; Jose is 15, muscular, troublesome and street smart. Then there is Ray who is a polar opposite from his best friend (Jose) Ray is on the bigger side, he is 14, and has some book smart. Both Jose and Ray have always gotten in trouble but has always stuck with each other. They have done everything from steal, escape Juvenal hall. They both live in an abandoned building in New York by Ten mile river. Nothing could really bring them apart. Jose and Ray both used to like to hang around their local barber shop, they met a girl named Trini. They both liked Trini, which started causing some problems, Trini liked Jose more than Ray so she picked him over Ray.... more Ray has to find a way to start making his own decisions and try to go on without Jose.
review 2: Jose and Raymundo are homeless friends who met in juvie hall. They steal cars and food to live. Ray reads all the time and thinks about going back to school and playing it straight. Then Ray meets Trina, the hot niece of the lady who cuts his hair. He doesn't want to introduce Trina to Jose cause he knows they will hook up. They do. They are sent back to separate jails after a car robbery goes awry. When they get out they hook back up in the home they have created in an abandoned train station in 10 Mile Park in Manhattan. Life gets harder and increasingly more violent and Trina turns Jose in while Ray escapes. Great realistic first novel about homeless kids. thye aren't all bad. less
