Runaway

This book is about a 15 year old girl; her name is Sunny Tate. She is kind of depressed, and becomes a wreck everytime her mother and father talk about her sister (Coral) who ran away. Coral was her older sister, someone she looked up to and one of her only friends. Sunny is kinda nerdy and doesn't really get attention from the people in her class. Until this one day when her luck changes and this really popular girl (Janna) desides to cheat on her test and the cheat sheet falls off of her lap onto the floor. As the teacher is coming around to collect the papers, Sunny puts her foot down to cover up the paper. Janna starts to be really nice to her after that and invites her to sit at her lunch table. Sunny starts to get attention from the most popular guy at her school. His name is Brett. One night she stuffs her pillows underneath her blankets to make it look like she is in there sleeping and she sneaks out and runs down the street where Brett is waiting for her in his car. They drive like 2 towns away to go to Janna's house (who she was having a party because her parents were gone for the weekend.) Sunny is mixed a drink and becomes sick and throws up. Brett tries to kiss her and she walks home. It takes her hours before she is back there. Another night while her parents are gone to Denver to look at a body because they were informed it was a girl. Their daughter Coral has been gone for 18 months. They figure that it could possibly be her. Once they are gone Brett decides to take a swing by Sunny's house. He again tries to kiss Sunny and she pulls away, telling him that she thinks it would be best if he were to leave. The next day at school he spreads awful rumors about her saying that the two had done things that never actually happened. Janna's popular group gets mad at Sunny because they think that she is lying about what goes on between her and Brett. The dead girl from Denver turns out not to be her sister. They are still looking for her, but now with all the stress going on. Sunny is thinking about running away.I don't want to say how the story ends. I think that this was one of the best books I have read. I don't usually like books neither but this one I didn't want to put down. It deals alot with peer preasure, and what teens usually go through. If you haven't all ready read this I think that you should!

Couldn't put it down!!

I think this was a very good book but I think that the author could have extended the ending.

It is my favorite book!!

It is a great book, and tells you a lot on how to deal with your problems.The girl is very sad that her sister left, and wants to go find her. The girl gets very mad at her mom and is about to runaway when someting very suprising happens.............. find out by reading the book!
