Description
When a troubled teen’s life spirals out of control, he finds himself running—away from consequences, toward a fragile sense of freedom that may not last. As he navigates shifting loyalties, hard choices, and the pull of both danger and hope, the story follows the emotional momentum of a boy trying to outrun the past while confronting what he can’t escape. With Chris Crutcher’s trademark blend of gritty realism and compassionate insight, the novel explores themes of identity, accountability, and the thin line between rebellion and survival. Fast-moving and character-driven, it’s a powerful look at how courage can look like running—and how staying can be the hardest act of all.
