Last Sam's Cage

Rating:
Summary: Great for young adult readers!
Review: You'll be captivated from the first page when you read about Eddie sneaking out of the house to run away from his abusive step-dad. Eddie is 15 and now homeless, finding solace in the Calgary Zoo. While there he writes in his journal about his days and you get a great insight into this gentle and confused survivor. He befriends a middle-aged man who ends up saving his life in the end. I won't give the whole thing away but I read it before giving it to my 12 year old son and he read it in two days and loved it! Any book that can captivate a 12 year boy is a winner in my opinion. We're off to get more of David Poulsen's books and Last Sam's Cage is definately on a few of my Christmas lists to buy.
