Charlie's Run

166 pp. | Farrar/Foster | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-374-34994-0 $$16.00
(2) 4-6 Full of anger that his parents are separating, eleven-year-old Charlie only intends to run away for a day or two but ends up accepting a ride with Doo, a fourteen-year-old runaway who's planning to drive to L.A. to find her father. Charlie's journey from his sheltered, secure world to the drug-infested streets of L.A. is compellingly told, and his odd-couple friendship with reckless Doo unfolds naturally. This is an engaging novel about accepting fallibility in those we love--and in ourselves.
