Post by: Nessa on February 23, 2007, 10:09:00 PM: I believe it's "Runaways", according to Amazon, but 42's article was titled "Runaway" so when I posted this thread, I did 42's version before I saw Amazon's site for it. Anyway, I can't change the name of this thread, as far as I can tell, but I can change the article name & blurb name.

That was the answer. Thanks SE.

I'm studying to be an English Teacher and we had to get various books and book types and develop lesson plans to teach the students and get them interested in different types of literature. I did a report and series of lesson plans on this. Through this I actually got a bunch of my peers and students to read it, and they also really liked it. I think it appeals to a younger crowd, which makes it great for schools.
I have actually been looking for the second volume the last couple weeks but they are sold out wherever I look and I'm refusing to buy it online, so I'll just continue to impatiently wait.
