Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Winner of the prestigious Guardian Children's Fiction Award in 1988, this book is the compelling and unique story of two children, Julian and Nathan, from inner city London. Outsiders at school and unhappy at home, the two are strangely drawn together. They stumble across some money with which they try to buy friendship in their class, but with teachers and parents closing in the two are forced to run away. The story centres on the brilliant and unusual friendship that develops between these two children, thrown together by force of circumstance.
A hard-hitting, well-crafted story of great emotional range that has an important message about personal growth and friendship, this novel is suitable for strong readers between the ages of 10 and 12.
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-- At the heart of this contemporary survival-friendship story are two unlikely 11-year-old allies, one black and one white. Nathan is small, wiry, bad-tempered, and an avid reader; Julia is tall, clumsy, a whiner, and virtually illiterate. The forces that unite them are their shared status as outsiders, and more importantly, their joint discovery of a treasure trove of cash in an abandoned house. Fearing retribution when their secret is exposed (they have flaunted their new-found wealth in front of classmates and teachers), they decide to run away together. What follows is a realistic record of a developing relationship as two former foes learn to respect, trust, and even make sacrifices for one another. In addition to compelling characterization, Thomas maintains interest with a storyline that is both believable and suspenseful, and a skilled writing style. This should appeal to young adolescents who can identify with the protagonists' feelings of inferiority, their desire to transcend their problems, and the conflicting needs for security and independence. --Julie Corsaro, University of Chicago Laboratory Schools

I loved this book
29. April 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Two child\teen enemies find money in a old house and they runaway from home, because of personal difficulties. Through the story they not only become friends, but have to pretend like they are related not to be discovered, and taken home. They sacrifice alot to please, and as well get along with eachother. I read this book 3 years ago from a library, tried to buy it, and was heart broken when I found out that It was out of print.
the runaways
27. Dezember 2005
the runaways is a very very good and exciting book.we read it in school when i became intrested in it.i really like it.though my sister haven't read it i told her about it and she said it is a good book.i like the bit where nathan apologised to julia cos it is unlikely for a character like nathan to apologise.
