the runaways

the runaways is a very very good and exciting book.we read it in school when i became intrested in it.i really like it.though my sister haven't read it i told her about it and she said it is a good book.i like the bit where nathan apologised to julia cos it is unlikely for a character like nathan to apologise. GOOD JOB

I loved this book

Two child\teen enemies find money in a old house and they runaway from home, because of personal difficulties. Through the story they not only become friends, but have to pretend like they are related not to be discovered, and taken home. They sacrifice alot to please, and as well get along with eachother. I read this book 3 years ago from a library, tried to buy it, and was heart broken when I found out that It was out of print.
