Runaway

This diary of a runaway girl and her search for a home celebrates hope, resilience, and happy endings as only Wendelin Van Draanen, the author of Flipped and other acclaimed novels, can.
Â
Holly has run away before, but this time she actually gets awayâ€”and what at first felt like an escape soon becomes a daily struggle for survival. She is smart and resourceful, and she manages to make it across the country on her own. But how long can this go on? Itâ€™s getting harder to avoid the truthâ€”Holly is now homeless.
Â
Runaway is a remarkably uplifting portrait of a girl still young and stubborn and naive enough to believe thereâ€™s a better place for her in the world.

â€œWill grab readers from the first entry.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews
Â
â€œHollyâ€™s lively self lingers in the way the best characters do. Runaway is certainly one of the best young adult books of the year.â€ â€”The Sacramento Bee
