The Runaways
Ruth Thomas
Red Fox, 1989
Paperback. 252pp. £4.99
to order

The RunawaysJulia and Nathan don't have any friends at school; they're the outcasts of Mrs Henry's class, never picked as someone's partner. So when they stumble on a stash of money in a deserted house, they try to buy their popularity by flashing their new-found wealth around.

But now teachers and parents are demanding answers and threatening punishments. Backed into a corner, the children can only see one way out. They will have to run away!

The Runaways was a winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Award in 1988.
