Van Draanen, Wendelin. Runaway. NY: Laurel-Leaf, 2006. 276 pages. (General Fiction)
Take a look inside Holly’s world as we travel along in her adventures through her diary. Holly is a foster child living with her horrible foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bender. They abuse her and don’t give her healthy living conditions. So, Holly runs away. Follow along as Holly meets different people throughout her journey to try to find out where she really belongs in the world.
I liked this book. It was a little disturbing, though, to hear about what awful things some foster parents might actually do to children. But, it’s very well detailed. I give it an A-.
