English Short Stories: The Boy That Runs (CEFR Level B2+)

By Rob Averies

English Short Stories - stories for adult English learners

Every night George suffers the same dream. It haunts him. What was once one of his happiest memories as a child has become a nightmare, and it is only getting worse. After enlisting the help of his best friend Penny, he must face up to his past, once and for all.

Part of the English Short Stories series, the events in this story lead us to consider what is real, and what is not. We are asked about what can be changed, and what cannot. We follow George on an emotional journey to discover his fate and put his nightmares to bed. Graded at CEFR Level B2+ (Upper-Intermediate), The Boy that Runs is an excellent educational tool for both independent learning and classroom use.
