Safe harbour / by Kilbourne, Christina,author.(CARDINAL)667160;
"As crazy as her father's plan sounds, sticking to it is easy for Harbour -- until it isn't. Fourteen-year-old Harbour is living in a tent in a Toronto ravine with her dog, a two-month supply of canned tuna, and an eccentric reading list. She's not homeless, she tells herself. She's merely waiting for her home -- a thirty-six-foot sailboat -- to arrive with her father at the helm. Why would she worry when the clouds give her sign that assure her that she's safe and protected? When her credit card gets declined, phone contact from her father stops, and summer slips into a frosty fall, Harbour is forced to face reality and accept the help of a homeless girl named Lise to survive on the streets. Lise shows Harbour how to panhandle and navigate the shelter system while trying to unravel Harbour's mysterious past. But if Harbour tells her anything, the consequences could be catastrophic."--770L

It rhymes with truth / by Miller, Richauthor;
Sometimes the truth sets us free. But most of the time, it's the scariest thing in the world - so scary it keeps us on the run for our entire lives. Which is why, when an eight-and-a-half-year-old homeless boy and an eccentric elderly woman trapped in a retirement community forge a fragile bond and become each other's accidental family, they only have one rule: never speak about before. But the truth has a way of catching up to us, spoken or unspoken. And when the pair's bond is tested, they may finally have to face their pasts. Or they could just run like hell. Their fateful decisions lead to misadventures that include a 30 mile taxi ride, smuggled brownies, angry bees, a soundtrack by Cole Porter, and a rising body count that is (mostly) not their fault. It Rhymes With Truth is the story of two people wrestling with their pasts while they struggle with a vexing question: Is it possible to truly save someone else who may not want to be saved? This beguiling, haunting first novel by Rich Miller will stick with you long after the final page. This is the rare book makes you laugh out loud before breaking your heart, mending it, then putting it back in your chest with a different heartbeat.

If you see them : young, unhoused, and alone in America / by Sokolik, Vicki,author.(CARDINAL)886113;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-337)."They hide in plain sight. They survive on free school breakfasts and lunches, join school sports teams in order to shower, sleep on friends' couches, in parks, or on the streets. Their official designation is "unaccompanied homeless youth"--they are not "runaways" breaking free from strict parenting; these are kids seeking safety. They have escaped abusive parents, have been abandoned, or have never had a home to begin with. When Vicki Sokolik's son brought home a classmate who was living on her own and was dropping out of school to support herself, Vicki stepped in to help. As she learned more about the invisible population of young people navigating life alone, she discovered the countless ways they are overlooked and impeded by the system. She founded a nonprofit and worked to change legislation in her home state of Florida to give these kids agency over their lives. If You See Them wakes us up to the issue of youth homelessness in America, through Sokolik's own story of advocacy and through the voices of the kids themselves. Her grassroots action demonstrates the world-shifting power of compassion, acceptance, belonging, and self-determination, and the capacity each of us has to change our communities for the better."--
