📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
by Deb Caletti
One moment Annabelle is getting a
burger, the next she is running with no destination in mind. A little less than
a year ago something tragic happened in her life, something involving The
Taker. While getting her burger, something triggers her which caused her to
run. Realizing the running helped her with dealing, Annabelle decides to run
from Seattle to Washington D.C. With the help of her brother and two friends
back home and her grandfather following along in his RV, Annabelle goes on a
captivating journey both physically and mentally.
Alternating between the present time
and flashes to the past leading up to the traumatic event, this book will have
you turning the page to find out what happened then and what happens next. For
some readers, this may be a book they need if they are in a situation similar
to Annabelle’s prior to the event that took place. While Annabelle’s journey of
running across the country can come across as unrealistic (though it has been
done by adults) it doesn’t take away from the wonderful premise of this story.
