Book 1: Trippin’ – Over it. That’s how Troy felt about foster homes. So he ran away. He walked the streets during the day. Begged for money. Then he met Justin. Introduce emergent teen readers to the concept of a series, where each book leaves you wanting more. Incorporating vivid graphic elements, this three-book series will attract students interested in reading edgier material. Each 64-page book is approximately two thousand five hundred words. Troy and Justin have been through a lot together. But Troy has had enough of street life. He cleans up his act. Finds a job. Takes classes at night. Justin is the same fun-loving guy he’s always been. He hops from job to job. But he prefers mooching off his girlfriend. About to get dumped, Justin is glum. Then Troy suggests a road trip.
