Angie, 6, and sister Polly, 4, are utterly distraught when they arrive to stay with foster carer Cathy Glass. Their older half-sister Ashleigh has accused their father of rape, and the two young sisters have been removed from home to keep them safe.

Story
Born in a prison and removed from his drug-dependent mother, rejection is all that 7-year-old Alex knows. When Cathy is asked to foster little Alex, aged seven, her immediate reaction is: Why can't he stay with his present carers for the last month? He's already had many moves since coming into care as a toddler and he'll only be with her a short while before he goes to live with his permanent adoptive family. But the present carers are expecting a baby and the foster mother isn't coping, so Alex goes to live with Cathy.

Publisher's Summary
Finding Stevie is a dark and poignant true story that highlights the dangers lurking online.
When Stevie’s social worker tells Cathy, an experienced foster carer, that Stevie, 14, is gender fluid she isn’t sure what that term means and looks it up.
Stevie, together with his younger brother and sister, have been brought up by their grandparents as their mother is in prison. But the grandparents can no longer cope with Stevie’s behaviour so they place him in care.
Stevie is exploring his gender identity, and like many young people he spends time online. Cathy warns him about the dangers of talking to strangers online and advises him how to stay safe. When his younger siblings tell their grandmother that they have a secret they can’t tell, Cathy is worried. However, nothing could have prepared her for the truth when Stevie finally breaks down and confesses what he’s done.

Enjoyed the story line
Even though it’s likely a lot of this is exaggerated(I feel like it’s loosely based on “Stevie’s” experience), the story line was very good and mostly well written. Although it worked out in the end, and Ms. Glass admittedly has much more experience than me, it was sometimes frustrating in how Stevie’s discipline (or lack thereof) was handled. He was allowed to disrespect foster and biological family members repeatedly without consequence of his actions. However, I did like how the foster family stuck to their resolutions regarding supporting Stevie and his teenage like wrongdoings. Normal everyday occurrences can have a dramatic effect on a young teen, never mind the trouble Stevie found himself in. Without his biological family’s true support, he needed the backup the Glass family gave him.
Always enjoy Cathy Glass’s stories.

This book was infuriating. It was far fetched and not realistic at all. I really didn’t enjoy it.
