Saint Iggy Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Iggy Corso gets kicked out of high school, there's no one for him to tell. His mother has gone off, his father is stoned on the couch, and the phone's been disconnected, so even the social worker can't get through. Leaving his public housing behind, Iggy ventures into the world to make something of his life. It's not easy when you're sixteen, have no skills, and your only friend is mixed up with the dealer who got your mom hooked. But Iggy is . . . Iggy, and he has the kind of wisdom that lets him see what no one else can.     Includes an author's note.

The second novel from a Printz Honor winner. Iggy leaves public housing behind to make something of his life. It's not easy for Iggy--he's just 16, has no skills, and his only friend is mixed up with the dealer who got Iggy's mom hooked.
