Runaways

RUNAWAYS, a novel All Matt Hendricks wants is to be a family again. The orphaned teen escapes from his foster home and spirits his twin sister away from hers, so they can camp out in Chugach State Park, Alaska. They lose their way, stumble into a camp of four strangers, and soon face tragedy. A snowstorm, a daring rescue, and a dramatic reversal of plans propel Matt into a new way of life. The third in "Ways of the Williwaw" series, RUNAWAYS is sure to please both kids and adults. Includes an interesting Appendix about the Matanuska Valley Colonization Project, closely related to the grandmother of Matt and his twin sister.
