A note for parents
Run Away is a dark, fast-paced thriller centered on drug addiction, abuse, and crime that is clearly aimed at older teens rather than middle-grade readers. While the core message about family loyalty and helping loved ones in crisis is positive, the story's immersion in the underworld of addiction and its dangers means it's best suited for mature teens who can handle heavy themes. The novel contains some violence, frequent substance use, and tense, disturbing situations, but stops short of graphic depictions.
