A 12-year-old runaway girl, Holly, chronicles her homeless journey in a journal, facing harsh realities with hope and resilience.
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.
