Runner was written by Robert Newton, set in 1919, it's about a young boy, Charlie and his efforts of saving his family from being poor. Charlie does everything he can to help his family, with his father recently passing away things just get even harder for Charlie.
Against his mother’s wishes and in secret, Charlie turned to Squizzy Taylor, a gangsta. It was the chance to get his family back on there feet for good and he wasn't going to turn it down, it all seemed easy as Squizzy gave Charlie lots of gifts, he met new people and made new friends such as Norman and Alyce. The life of crime has given him what everyone wants, respect and money.
However when Charlie's personal life gets in the way, everything begins to go out of control and things change. Suddenly Charlie begins to get mistreated and people who he was once friends with now begin to turn into enemies. It was all too much for a teenage boy and he didn't know how to handle all the pressure and guilt. So he pulled out, never to turn back...
But where was he supposed to go now?
How would he support his family?
Its realy cool =)
