Runner by Carl Deuker

The book I chose to read was The Runner by Carl Deuker. The books topic is about a boy who wants to make money to help him and his dad live on their old boat. I chose this book because I like the author he writes good books.

Chance Taylor wanted to help him and his dad so they weren't poor but it was hard because his dad drank too much so he had 2 jobs. The security guard wanted to help but Chance wasn't sure it was safe so he did it for the money. Chance also had a crush on a girl but you will need to read it to figure out who.

One reason why I liked this book was because the author writes interesting books. I also liked it because it kept me wanting more. One thing I didn't like was he chose to do something illegal. I also thought it was about sports like his other and it wasn't so it was still a little upsetting.

I would recommend it to friends that like books that are suspenseful. Anyone from 10-18 would like this book.
