{"product_id":"hit-the-ground-running-alison-hughes-9781459815445","title":"Hit the Ground Running","description":"Sixteen-year-old Dee and her seven-year-old brother, Eddie, have been on their own for six weeks. Their father has seemingly vanished into the baking Arizona desert. Their money is drying up and the rent is coming due, but it's a visit from a social worker and the prospect of being separated from Eddie that scares Dee enough to flee. She dupes her brother into packing up and embarking on the long road trip to Canada, their birthplace and former home. Lacking a driver's license and facing a looming interrogation at the border, Dee rations their money and food as they burn down the interstate in their ancient, decrepit car.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1459815440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459815445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orca Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e503044 \/ Hit the Ground Running\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/29\/2017","brand":"Alison Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873280012543,"sku":"9781459815445","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hit-the-ground-running-alison-hughes-9781459815445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
