Running on the Cracks

Running On The Cracks
Author: Julia Donaldson
Genre: Young Adult
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)
Published: 9/15/2009
Goodreads Rating: 3.46
Leo’s running from her past. Finlay’s running into trouble. Together, they stumble into a crazy new world of secrets, lies, and Chinese food. But someone is on Leo’s trail . . . Eccentric, unforgettable characters and genuine, heart-pounding suspense make for a stunning combination as celebrated author Julia Donaldson expands her talents in her first novel for young adults.

(Multi-perspective story that deals with teenage issues)

Leo is a half-English, half-Chinese girl who is on the run. She is an orphan with an uncle who seems to have inappropriate ideas about her. Running away appears to be her only option. For young teenagers, Julia Donaldson deals with difficult subjects such as mental illness, friendships and trust in a sensitive and down to earth manner.
