Running Away**

Running Away** (School Edition): The plan is in place. Before they realize she's not coming back from her bogus weekend camping trip, Maggie will be in another state, in a new life. When Peg realizes her daughter has run away, she knows she has to find Maggie – fast – or they may never see each other again. And Maggie's already on the run from new dangers after she's in the wrong place at the wrong time. As each of them struggles with the issues around Maggie's running away, the strength of the bond between them becomes evident. This is a story of the resilience of the characters and the mother-daughter relationship and about how each of them has been running away. The suspense line in this thriller makes it a fast read that will appeal to at-risk teens who don't like to read – as well as adults and young adults who enjoy a good story. This School Edition is based on the original Running Away (now out of print). Peg's history was less disturbing than it is in Running Away - Maggie's Story and  for schools, ** replace language that might be objectionable.
