Recenzii

"The sports and suspenseful action will easily draw readers, as will the gripping adventure’s deeper issues of crime, class, ineffectual parents, and a teen’s questions about his uncertain future." Booklist, ALA

"Writing in a fast-paced, action-packed, but at the same time reflective style, Deuker uses fewer sports scenes than in his previous novels, and instead uses running as a hook to entice readers into a perceptive coming-of-age novel." School Library Journal

"Fast-paced and suspenseful." Horn Book —

Suspenseful, fast-paced, and poignant, this novel avoids easy answers as it examines issues of terrorism and patriotism, fear and courage, and the lives of privilege and poverty.


For a kid desperate to escape poverty, the job seems perfect. But what’s really inside the packages he runs?


  • A High-Stakes Thriller: Seventeen-year-old Chance is a runner, but this daily route involves more than just exercise—it involves mysterious packages, a shady deal, and dangers he can’t comprehend.
  • Moral Dilemma: The cash is good, a lifeline for him and his alcoholic father. But when Chance suspects he’s a pawn in a much larger, deadlier game, he has to decide how much his integrity is worth.
  • Poverty and Privilege: A gritty look at life on the margins, contrasting a teen living on a broken-down sailboat with the seemingly perfect lives of his classmates.
  • A Patriotic Question: In a world shaped by terrorism, Chance is forced to confront what patriotism really means and where his loyalties truly lie.
