The Beginner's Guide to Running Away from Home

About this book

What kid hasnt wanted to make their parents feel sorry for treating him badly? And how better to accomplish this than to run away? Heres a guide showing how from what to pack (gum--then you wont have to brush your teeth) to how to survive (dont think about your cozy bed). Ultimately though readers will see that there really is no place like home. Like Judith Viorsts Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day heres a spot-on portrait of a kid whos had it. And like Maurice Sendaks Where the Wild Things Are its also a journey inside a creative kids imagination: that special place where parents arent allowed without permission.
