I read this one first before Last Chance. I loved it so much that when I saw the rest of the series in the book order in school, I had to have them all. Robyn is honestly one of my favorite fictional characters, and I saw a lot of myself in her (or who I wanted to be). There is always a twist at the end of the books once you think everything's resolved, and you never see them coming. They're so great. ( )

Short excerpt:

Like I said before, this book was okay. The story moved along quickly enough to keep me interested, and the characters were definitely relatable for kids who struggle with their families or with living on the streets or in group home situations. You Can Run was believable enough, though a bit too tidy in the end. I usually like things to be a bit more complicated and less predictable, though I can see the appeal for reluctant readers or those who really want something that speaks to their life experience.

This book was pretty good. Though the beginning was sorta boring, and some parts, especially near the end when they were uncovering the secrets, I didn't exactly get it. But over all, it was good. The ending surprised me a lot, though. Because it was so unexpected. It's sorta action-like, and that's kinda different from the rest of the book, and the book before this one. But it was very interesting, and it involved brain work, which was kinda cool! ( )
