Emily is forced to become a "runaway" when a tragedy befalls her family. What will she make of her life as a child on the run from the FBI and the Criminals who put her in this situation. What will Emily Calby become in order to survive?
Very interesting and culturally diverse story. Many times you can look at a person and judge them for their crimes based on the law but when getting to know the characters in this story things become more then just black and white.
The person that Emily/Alice becomes is both frightening as well as inspiring. The hurdles that she overcomes are pure determination, brains and a little bit of crazy along the way. Her determination to get "justice" for her family is a very real emotion that many people feel and one that not many are able to act upon.
I really enjoyed reading this book as well as the discussion questions in the back. The questions really made me think about right and wrong and in what circumstances something that is wrong can often seem like the only way. It would be nice to have a group read and discussion. I am excited to see what the future hold for Emily/Alice in the upcoming sequels.
