Evie was pregnant and forced to give up the baby.


But Evie can't just leave the child with strangers, especially when she thinks the baby is being neglected. With her boyfriend waiting in the truck, Evie snatches the baby and convinces him to drive her to Montreal where she plans to start a new life with her child. But when the baby won't eat and she and Justin argue, she ends up alone in a small town. As the baby becomes sicker, Evie must decide whether to admit her mistake and turn herself in, or to keep running.


This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they donโ€™t like to read! Also available in Spanish.

Darlene Ryan has been writing for as long as she can remember, although she pursued post-secondary degrees in biology and education.

Darlene was the 2006 poet recipient of the Dr. Marilyn Trenholme Counsell Early Childhood Literacy Award. As Sofie Kelly, she writes the best-selling Magical Cats mysteries. She lives with her family in Fredericton, New Brunswick. For more information, visit www.darleneryan.com.

Reviews

"Lots of authentic dialogue and engrossing subject matter." "The novel's fast pace will keep reluctant readers turning the pages to the end." "This is a compelling, insightful addition to the Orca Soundings series. Recommended." "This Orca Soundings title with its fast-pace, high interest content, and low reading level is a perfect choice for a struggling female reader." "This high-interest Orca Soundings book will be sure to stimulate good discussions about responsibility, good and harmful decisions and hard consequences." Expand reviews
