I wait at the top of the stairs outside our apartment. It's cold out here. But I hate being around Mom when she's drunk.
Tenth grader Elgin Hobbs is caught in a downward spiral. He's failing classes, his divorced parents fight, and his mom is an alcoholic. Life keeps bringing him down. But he fights to rise above it. Lexile Readability Measure: HL-540-L.
