There's just one problem -- Gage didn't actually have a place to live. How can Ari keep up with school, her best friend, and middle-school applications when she's \"couch surfing\" -- a night here with Gage's friend in a tiny apartment, a night there with Gage's girlfriend and her two roommates -- and even, when necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter? Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have readers thinking about homelessness in a whole new way.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Richard Jacobson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books for children and young adults, including the middle-grade novel \u003ci\u003eSmall as an Elephant \u003c\/i\u003eand the Andy Shane early chapter books, illustrated by Abby Carter.
