À propos de cet audio
This diary of a runaway girl and her search for a home celebrates hope, resilience, and happy endings as only Wendelin Van Draanen, the author of Flipped and other acclaimed novels, can.
Holly has run away before, but this time she actually gets away - and what at first felt like an escape soon becomes a daily struggle for survival. She is smart and resourceful, and she manages to make it across the country on her own. But how long can this go on? It’s getting harder to avoid the truth - Holly is now homeless.
Runaway is a remarkably uplifting portrait of a girl still young and stubborn and naive enough to believe there’s a better place for her in the world.
“Will grab readers from the first entry.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Holly’s lively self lingers in the way the best characters do. Runaway is certainly one of the best young adult books of the year.” (The Sacramento Bee)

“This is a great book [for] young teens.... Van Draanen has shown great versatility in adding another dimension to her already respected body of work.” (School Library Journal)
“The ending of this taut, powerful story seems possible and deeply hopeful.” (Booklist)
“Readers will be drawn to Holly as she shifts between her search for a safe place to live, her anger at the foster care system and her reflections on the circumstances that led up to her mother's overdose.” (Publishers Weekly)

Runaway by Wendelin Van Draneen
First of all, I am a 60 year old adult not the target young adult audience. But in my opinion the author writes well enough that being older is not a limitation. The protagonists of all her books may be teenagers but the story is, while not necessarily ageless, of interest to a wider readership. I would rank the story 4/5 just because I do not think most runaway teens end up so lucky. Holly’s journey sounded very real. I find the narrarators good too.
