Description:

Shorty is given a choice. But is he man enough to take it? An audacious and astounding novel that grips the heart and the imagination

Synopsis:

WINNER of the 2013 Printz Award. In darkness, I count my blessings like Manman taught me.One: I am alive.Two: there is no two.In the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake, a boy is trapped beneath the rubble of a ruined hospital, thirsty, terrified and alone. Shorty is a child of the slums, a teenage boy who has seen enough violence to last a lifetime, and who has been inexorably drawn into the world of the gangsters who rule Site Soley; men who dole out money with one hand and death with the other. But Shorty has a secret: a flame of revenge that blazes inside him and a burning wish to find the twin sister he lost seven years ago . . .
