From the bestselling author of The DUFF comes Run, a powerful young adult novel about friendship, identity, and what it means to find your place in the world.
 
Bo Dickinson is wild, reckless, and often misunderstood. Agnes Atwood is blind, sheltered, and underestimated. When the two unlikely friends decide to hit the road together, they set off on a journey that changes them both. As secrets unfold and bonds are tested, Run explores the beauty and complexity of friendship, the struggles of small-town life, and the courage it takes to break free.
With raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling, Kody Keplinger delivers a YA contemporary that resonates with themes of disability, poverty, loyalty, and LGBTQ identity.
