Say Yes

Say Yes by Audrey Couloumbis is another of her stories about survival.

Casey lives with her stepmother. Her father died two years ago. Now it is just the two of them. But one day Casey comes home from school to discover Sylvia is gone.

At first she thinks Sylvia is working late. Casey goes to the diner where Sylvia works and the boss congratulates her on the move. It looks like Sylvia moved without her.

The only person Casey can talk to is a boy who lives in the building. He is in foster care with the super. He has a plan to keep Casey from starving, but it is definitely not legal. Is Casey desperate enough to go along with his plan?

Couloumbis, Audrey. (2002). Say Yes. New York: G.P. Putnam and Sons.
