Short description of The Last Chance Texaco
This is a great book that offers much to the reader. Whether you are looking to learn about the kids in "the system" or you grew up in a group home and looking for a book that you can identify with, The Last Chance Texaco is for you. A strong plot drives this story and its characters. The character descriptions are woven within the story line, and it never seems to slow the pace down. The children depicted in the book are realistic. Their behaviors are driven by their emotions, just like so many of the kids in the system. The reader begins to care for the main character and hopes that she can find a permanent place to call home.
