Book Review: Chico: The Street Boy – Evelyn Puig

Set in Brazil this story follows Chico who was a happy boy who sang while he worked in the market, until one day on returning home he finds his life has turned upside down by the departure of his ‘dad’ which sees his ‘family’ going separate ways and Chico ending up on the streets in a plight o find out who his real family are.


This is a very heart-warming story of courage and suspense and does reflect reality as Brazil still has boys like Chico who live on the streets and have to make their own living and keep themselves safe.
