Runner

Wow. I just read this book in one day! It is called Runner by Carl Deuker. It's about a kid named Chance Taylor who lives with his dad on a small sailboat. His dad is a drunk and life is hard. He attends high school and he is a senior. Anyways he has a bad job that he doesn't like. One day this fat guy comes up to him and and offers him a job for easy money. Eventually Chance accepts it. When his dad is busy getting drunk Chance runs. He runs around the city, on the pier, and the beach. The fat guy tells him that for his job he will be running. He will go to these rocks near the beach that he always goes to and look for a package hidden in the rocks. Chance then will put the package in the box and bring it back to the locker room/shower area where all the boats are stored near the beach. Then someone anonymous will pick it up. The job is easy and the money is awesome. I read the whole book so I'm not going to say what happens except that the packages and the job have to do with illegal activity. Once again the book is filled with suspense.

It's an awesome book!

Now I'm reading Jude which is good so far.

Tell me what you think!
