Can't stop thinking about this book I read when I was probably like 9-12 years old in the school library. Driving me insane how I can't find anything about it on google
It was about a kid (really young, probably 8-12) living alone in the city because his mom walked out on him but told him he'd be back. He starts eating from the garbage of his neighbor because his neighbor's kid wouldn't eat anything but french fries. Then he goes on to live out in the city and meets homeless people or some shit.
My brain remembers the name as 'Concrete jungle' but no book bearing the description of what I typed earlier shows up.
Can someone help me?
BTW born in '92/elementary-middle schools generally only stocked children/young adult lit, so maybe that'll let you know the time frame and genre of the book

Just wasn't meant to be
Are you German by any chance?

Woah! That's a fucking horrifying story to be reading at that age and that too in school. Where do you live, anon? I am never going in that town.
