From the publisher's blurb, "Already creating a worldwide sensation and destined to become a major motion picture, Nathan's Run will touch the heart of anyone who's ever reached out for a helping hand, battled against impossible odds, or searched for a sign that they, too, matter. Beginning with a savage killing at a suburban Virginia juvenile detention centre, Nathan's Run shuttles its diminutive protagonist, twelve-year-old Nathan Bailey, through a terrifying gauntlet. Accused of murder and branded a cop-killer, Nathan becomes the target of a nationwide manhunt even as a vicious hitman is closing in on him. Orphaned and alone, Nathan has nowhere to turn for help. To stay alive he can count only on himself, on his agility, natural cleverness and honesty. Ironically, the latter proves a formidable weapon as the boy endears himself to a national radio talk host and, along the way, pleads his case to a rapt nation. Still, "justice" will not be denied, and as an army of police and a dogged contract killer draw closer, Nathan is tested to the very limits of his endurance. Ultimately it will fall to one heart-scarred police officer to hold out the helping hand Nathan so sorely needs. Electrifying, achingly poignant, and filled with profound insights into the war society wages against its children." 293 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

Terms of Sale

I've done my best to state clearly and truthfully the condition of each and every book I have listed on-line. Sometimes, however, books change condition insofar as they sit on the shelf for a long time, get moved by customers, get taken to and from book fairs, and so on. Most orders will ship within one to two business days, but often times, they will go out on the same day as they are ordered. I've based my shipping costs on the assumption of books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized (extra thick, extra long, etc.), I may contact you to let you know that extra shipping is required. Bubble mailers and boxes will be expertly and securely wrapped and monitored. Please contact us if there is anything extra or different you need us to do.
