Book
Pain & wastings / Carrie Mac.
This novel tells the story of Ethan, an orphaned juvenile delinquent who agrees to join an ambulance ride-along in order to avoid juvenile detention. Along the way, he meets new people who will help him come to peace with his past and live for his future. Written for young adult or adult readers, simple language and mature subjects make this an appropriate choice for adult learners.
"This novel is written for youth but could be suitable for adults as well. However, the story is simplistic and doesn't have the complexity that adults tend to enjoy. It is a high interest - low vocabulary book. I found it was hard to put down. It's a very engaging story and I wanted to find out what happened. Written about life in Vancouver's downtown eastside and paramedics who go on calls, it's about a gritty topic but it seems real, and there is hope." – July 2008 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
