The riveting journal<br />
of a young homeless girl.<br />
Runaway<br />
WENDELIN VAN DRAANEN<br />
HOLLY IS IN her fifth foster home in two years and she’s had enough. She’s<br />
run away before and always been caught quickly. But she’s older and wiser<br />
now—she’s 12—and this time she gets away clean.<br />
Through tough and tender and angry and funny journal entries, Holly<br />
spills out her story. We travel with her across the country—hopping trains,<br />
scamming food, sleeping in parks or homeless encampments. And we also<br />
travel with her across the gaping holes in her heart—as she finally comes<br />
to terms with her mother’s addiction and death.<br />
“Readers will be drawn to the gripping details of both physical and<br />
emotional landmines hidden in the ordinariness of everyday life. This is a<br />
great book to hand-sell or booktalk to young teens. . . . Van Draanen has<br />
shown great versatility in adding another dimension to her already<br />
respected body of work.”—School Library Journal<br />
“Readers will be drawn to Holly as she shifts between her search for a safe<br />
place to live, her anger at the foster care system and her reflections on the<br />
circumstances that led up to her mother’s overdose.”—Publishers Weekly<br />
