I would recommend this book to people who can take the cold hard truth of the world. It is quite dark. It shows you a side of New York City that you might not want to know about. The main character, Val, is an athletic 16-year-old who runs away to New York. She falls in with a makeshift family of teenagers. As she does she discovers a modern fairy tale right in NYC. I don't want to reveal any of the book, but a warning that this book shows things that some people may not like. Not the best book I have ever read, but OK in all.
I think this is an excellent review. It sounds very intriguing and provides just enough information without giving away any secret plots. I want to read Valiant this summer.
