Ordinary young people with extraordinary powers, the Street Heroes return to help child runaways around the world. This gritty story moves between the streets of London, where Georgie Smith is now living after the confrontation with his fascist father at Cable Street, and the nightmare state of North Korea, where we meet Hyun-mi. Fatima, Georgie, and their friends fight evil in all its human forms, but who is behind the mysterious telepathic voice threatening the child heroes? And how can they make their message heard by people without their telepathic powers? With the return of Street Heroes’ appealing characters and the addition of some new friends, Runaways is a fast-paced and action-packed thriller that addresses important issues while gripping readers from start to finish.

Notă biografică

Joe Layburn worked for fifteen years as a journalist and television reporter with BBC, ITV and Channel 4, often working on programmes focusing on children, and has been nominated for the Royal Television Society's home current affairs award. In 2002 he switched to teaching, and started working in East End schools. It was here that he heard the little-known story of South Hallsville School, Canning Town where, during the Blitz, around 500 people fled after their own homes were destroyed - and the school itself was demolished by a bomb. This was the inspiration for his novel, Ghostscape - Joe's first book for children.

John Williams (1922-1994) was born and raised in Northeast Texas. Despite a talent for writing and acting, Williams flunked out of a local junior college after his first year. He reluctantly joined the war effort, enlisting in the Army Air Corps, and managing to write a draft of his first novel while there. Once home, Williams found a small publisher for the novel and enrolled at the University of Denver, where he was eventually to receive both his B.A. and M.A., and where he was to return as an instructor in 1954. Williams remained on the staff of the creative writing program at the University of Denver until his retirement in 1985. During these years, he was an active guest lecturer and writer, publishing two volumes of poetry and three novels, Butcher's Crossing, Stoner, and the National Book Award-winning Augustus.
