Runner

Chase knows how much he will earn—what he doesn't know is how much he will pay. Suspenseful, fast-paced, and timely, this novel avoids easy answers as it examines issues of terrorism and patriotism, fear and courage, and lives of privilege and poverty. This brand new paperback edition includes a Q and A with author Carl Deuker. Living With His Alcoholic Father On A Broken-down Sailboat On Puget Sound Has Been Hard On Seventeen-year-old Chance Taylor, But When His Love Of Running Leads To A High-paying Job, He Quickly Learns That The Money Is Not Worth The Risk.
