Download or read book The Beginner's Guide to Running Away from Home written by Jennifer Huget and published by Schwartz & Wade. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kid hasn't wanted to make their parents feel sorry for treating him badly? And how better to accomplish this than to run away? Here's a guide showing how, from what to pack (gum--then you won't have to brush your teeth) to how to survive (don't think about your cozy bed).

Like Judith Viorst's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, here's a spot-on portrait of a kid who's had it. And like Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, it's also a journey inside a creative kid's imagination: that special place where parents aren't allowed without permission.
