Foster Youth

Some young people grow up under extremely challenging circumstances - and their peers know little about their lives or the difficulties they must overcome. The Forgotten Youth series introduces young readers to foster youth, homeless youth, undocumented immigrant youth, and others who struggle to find their place in society. Each volume presents a vivid picture of what these youth experience day in and day out-their hopes, their fears, their triumphs and challenges. Details of daily life, quotes, anecdotes, and context are woven throughout the books to present a powerful, real-world look at the lives of these vulnerable young people.
