    About this audiobook

    Evie was pregnant and forced to give up the baby. But she can't just leave the child with strangers, especially when she thinks the baby is being neglected. With her boyfriend waiting in the truck, Evie snatches the baby and convinces him to drive her to Montreal where she plans to start a new life with her child.

    But when the baby won't eat and she and Justin argue, she ends up alone in a small town. As the baby becomes sicker, Evie must decide whether to admit her mistake and turn herself in, or to keep running.

    An Orca Book Publishers production.

      This is the first Orca Soundings book I've read. Designed for reluctant readers, they are all short (not even really long enough to be considered a novel) with large type and simple words. But in spite of all of that, I don't think this book talked down to the reader and I was pleased by the ambiguous ending. The author could have had a different ending and then the Moral Of The Story would have hung heavy in the air, but instead she left the reader wondering a bit. I think teen girls would like this.
    • 4/5
      I just wish I knew what happened at the ending when she was walking away but otherwise this was a really good story
