"Dark Eyes" by William Richter

Dark Eyes by William Richter is about a Russian girl who is adopted by an American couple and moves to New York.  Years later, she goes by Wally and lives on the street.  She knows her way around and nobody messes with her.  She still wants to find her birth mom and her dad, who was in a Russian prison, breaks out and wants to find his wife too.  But what he has in mind is not very nice!  Wally needs all her street smarts to find her first.  It took a while for the action to start, but when it does, this book heats up!  It is well worth reading.
