4.0 out of 5 stars Shakedown Street Summary, October 19, 2003
By 
This review is from: Shakedown Street (Hardcover)
With no car, no home, and only a pocket-full of money, Caro Reilly struggles to survive on the streets of San Francisco. In Jonathon Nasaw's fiction, Shakedown Street, Caro and her mom learn first hand what it's like to be homeless. When the guru of Caro's village runs off with the community's wealth, Caro and her mother no longer have a home. Now that they're living on the streets and sleeping in the parks of San Francisco, Caro's life is going to be all about panhandling, picking through trash for food, staying dry from the rain, and for her first time, experiencing life of the homeless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shakedown Street, May 11, 2000
By A Customer
Shakedown Street is the perfect book for growing teenagers. Caro, the main character, is a young girl who lives with her traveling, religious mother. Caro and her friends deal with a lot of natural, emotional, and physical problems. Caro deals with troublesome situations such as drugs, puberty, sex, and the "hard knock life". Caro and her mother move from home to home. They make many friends who are homeless, sick, or perhaps melancholoy, such as themselves and live with them for a period time. Definetley a good book for the growing teen. I strongly reccomend this book to youths between the ages of thirteen and seventeen.
