These frightening statistics are just a snapshot of the plight of street children in the world today.  The result of extensive research, this book combines hard statistics with individual stories to challenge our indifference and awaken our conscience.  When compared with the plight of homeless children revealed by Charles Dickens over a century ago in his novel Oliver Twist, it becomes tragically clear just how little progress has been made.
