About the Book

'Extraordinary. I loved it.' Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear 'Gripping, heartfelt ... unforgettable' Jenny Pearson, author of The Super-Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates 'A fantastic novel that doesn't shy away from big emotions.' Maisie Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths He needs to get lost. She wants to be found. Jamie and July are both eleven-year-olds living in London – but they have very different lives. They meet for the first time at Waterloo Station in the last week of the holidays. They are both desperate to get away from home. July is really worried about her unreliable mum - she needs to get help. Jamie has done something terrible - and left in a panic. Despite their worries, the sun is shining and, as they escape everything they've left behind in the city, Jamie and July can't help but sense adventure in the air. But running away isn't just harmless summertime fun. What are they really trying to escape? And will either Jamie or July find a place that finally feels like home? Three homes, two kids, one journey. 'I LOVED Runaways. It has note-perfect voices and two important stories at the heart of it all. I couldn't put it down.' Joanna Nadin, award-winning author 'Runaways is gripping and deeply authentic and more than a bit brilliant' James Goodhand, author of Last Lesson 'Addictive, brilliant in every way' Evan, The Week Junior young reviewer

Review :
Extraordinary. I loved it. I was drawn into the story to such an extent that I read the book from cover to cover in one sitting ... I thoroughly recommend Runaways to teachers, public librarians, and school librarians at both primary and secondary schools I just wanted to say how much I LOVED Em Norry's Runaways. It has note-perfect voices and deft telling and two important stories at the heart of it all. I couldn't put it down. A fantastic novel that doesn't shy away from big emotions. I loved the different kinds of families represented in this book Runaways is gripping and deeply authentic and more than a bit brilliant Runaways is a gripping, heartfelt story that pulled me in from the first page. Jamie and July are unforgettable-real, vulnerable, and brave in the face of impossible choices. The beautifully written dual narrative explores what it means to be heard, to be safe, and to find connection in the unlikeliest of places. It's a book that pulses with authenticity and emotional truth and one that will stay with you long after reading. A warm, compassionate and hopeful story Addictive, brilliant in every way. The ending was amazingly surprising.
