Sometimes heroes can be found in the most unlikely places. Precious meets Laurie Halse Anderson in this story of one boy's journey to overcome hardship. Fourteen-year-old Clarence Feather knows no world beyond desolate Mayfair Heights. Three years ago, his mother was killed before his eyes by a stray bullet. When his father becomes unable to keep the family afloat, Clarence is manipulated into running drugs. But he longs to be a good person, in spite of the seemingly impossible odds. Wandering through his neighborhood, Clarence meets Mona, a huge albino Great Dane. The two develop a deep bond. When he is forced to attend a dog fight as a rite of passage, Clarence realizes that Mona isn’t safe, and neither is he. Can he find a way to protect Mona? Can he survive life in Mayfair Heights and still become the person his mother wanted him to be? "Mary Lou Hall's Wirewalker is a daring leap into magnificence. This is storytelling at its bravest and most beautiful . . . It's a call to resurrection for anyone who has forgotten how to hope."--Paul Griffin, critically acclaimed author of When Friendship Followed Me Home
