Runner by Deuker, Carl(April 23, 2007) Paperback

Paperback Book 216 pages. Seems to be out of print. The book we have has some interesting labels on it. Book is in great condition with the exception of a few pages which appear to have gotten wet. Synopsis: Chance Taylor is a high school senior who lives on an old dilapidated houseboat in Puget Sound with his alcoholic father. Chance gets the opportunity to make some money when a man notices him running around the pier and docks and approaches him about delivering some packages during his run. It doesn’t take long for Chance to figure out that something fishy is happening at the pier (oh…. such a bad pun, but too easy :-). Throw in a cute girl, a terrorist threat and a climactic ending and you’ve got an exciting read for all readers, reluctant readers especially.
