About the Book Slake's Limbo

Slake’s Limbo by Felice Holman is a compelling young adult novel that follows the journey of Aremis Slake, a teenage boy who escapes his harsh reality by living in the New York City subway for 121 days. Bullied and feeling abandoned, Slake finds solace in the underground tunnels, where he creates a makeshift home and survives by selling discarded newspapers.

Throughout his time in the subway, Slake encounters various characters, including a sympathetic diner owner who offers him food in exchange for work. His story is one of resilience and adaptation, as he learns to navigate his new environment and find small moments of peace and stability. The novel also explores the parallel life of Willis Joe Whinny, a disillusioned train conductor whose path fatefully intersects with Slake’s.

Slake’s Limbo delves into themes of survival, the search for belonging, and the impact of kindness in unexpected places. It’s a poignant tale that highlights the struggles and inner strength of a young boy trying to find his place in a seemingly hostile world.

It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
