Children who are determined to defeat their advancing enemy and save their city, or die trying.

Critic Reviews: "While this is a story about children, it is most definitely not a story for children. Although not without moments of humor and romance, Street Boys is exciting, graphic, brutal, grim, and tense." (Library Journal) Contact
