Summary
Against all odds Wylan Van Eck, son of famed newspaper tycoon Jan Van Eck, survived his father's murder attempt. Wandering the streets of New York City, hungry and desperate with ten cents to his name, Wylan decides to hide in plain sight as a newsie selling newspapers with all of the other orphans and runaways. The newsies are tough, and loyal. And maybe, just maybe Wylan can build a life for himself as one of them.
Then Jan Van Eck raises the price of the newspaper. Wylan and the newsies form a union and go on strike. Along the way Wylan and Jesper grow closer. Wylan's secrets threaten both his father and the strike. It's a long shot, but what are the odds that Wylan, Jesper, Kaz, Nina, Matthias, Inej, and all of the newsies can defeat the most powerful man in the city?
