Blink & Caution

Runaway teenagers--juvenile fiction

Crime--juvenile fiction

Emotional problems--juvenile fiction

Blink and Caution, two teens living on the streets are thrown together as they attempt to outrun the respective villains pursuing them. Unfolding as a dual narrative, Blink’s chapters are told in second person, a surprisingly effective technique that allows readers to both get inside his head and feel the panic that grips him. The progressive revelation of their heartbreaking personal histories pairs well with the breakneck pace of the chase.
