The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman

When eleven-year-old Hank's mom disappears for a week, he does what he's always done - takes care of his toddler sister, Boo. But with no food left and no sign of their mom, Hank realizes they need help and turns to the stranger listed as their emergency contact.

Asking for help brings social workers, a new school, and difficult questions about secrets Hank has tried to protect. Worst of all, if their mom isn't found soon, Hank and Boo could be placed in separate foster homes - and Hank could lose the person who means the most to him.
