Adam is a senior and Julian is a freshman. One wouldn't think these two boys would form a friendship. When Adam sees Julian, he remembers he is the boy who years ago lived with him as a foster child. Adam's social worker mother is thrilled to hear about Julian and asks how he is doing. Adam will no doubt be finding out since the school counselor has asked him to help out by meeting with Julian.
Years ago Julian's parents were killed in a car accident which was why he came to live with Adam and his mom. When a long-lost uncle surfaces, Julian is whisked away to live with his Uncle Russell. Julian is withdrawn and quiet and when not in class, spends time in a secret hideaway he discovered above the stage in the school's theater. Adam is popular with everyone and the perfect person to bring Adam out of his shell.
As the two boys become closer, Adam suspects that Julian's life with Uncle Russell isn't all that wonderful. Julian misses school often claiming he's had the flu, but when he shows up with cuts and bruises, Adam suspects something's wrong.
A LIST OF CAGES is told through the alternating voices of Adam and Julian. Readers will immediately connect with Author Robin Roe's characters as their stories intertwine. Roe is also the author of DARK ROOM ETIQUETTE.
