The Runaway

Leroy 'Doodlebug' Barnstable likes to call himself the quickest draw in the West - with a crayon. The year is 1923 and Leroy is on the run from a couple of abusive cousins. He stumbles into a travelling Chautauqua show, where it's easy to get lost in the crowd - but also easy to lose your heart. Funny and endearing, this new novel from award-winning teen author Glen Huser has a bit of everything - humour, adventure and romance - and will appeal to teens of both sexes.
