Run for Your Life Books

Fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent will enjoy this suspense-filled action thriller. Champion runner Tanzania Grey, 17, has to win the Verde Island Endurance Race's million-dollar prize to save the life of her friend Bailey. The treacherous five-day race traverses a remote volcanic island that's home to beasts that slither, fly, swim, and slink through the jungle. But the wildlife turns out to be the least of Tana's problems when she draws the name of Sebastian Callendro as her partner. Sebastian's personal life has put him in the national spotlight, and his nosy followers are the kind Tana can't afford. Her name isn't really Tanzania, and everything else in her biography is invented, too. She’s been running for three years─from the men who murdered her parents. If her cover is blown, she could be next.

When champion endurance racer Tanzania Grey accepts a mysterious invitation to the Ski to Sea Relay Race in Bellingham, Washington, she knows she may be risking her life. Born Amelia Robinson, she’s been living on the run for four years after masked “ninjas” killed her family. By returning to her hometown, Tana hopes to find clues to the murders. But will discovering the motives behind an apparent conspiracy help her find justice, or lead the killers to her doorstep to threaten her patched-together new “family”—a rescued elephant, five goats, a former street child, and a wounded veteran? Can she stop the assassins from completing the job of erasing the last Robinson? * Dante Rosetti Blue Ribbon First Prize Winner * Run for Your Life Trilogy, #2

~The exciting conclusion to the Run for Your Life Trilogy~ When teen champion runner Tanzania “Tana” Grey receives a mysterious invitation to the Extreme Africa Endurance Challenge, she fears it might be a trap. The multi-day race is in Zimbabwe, the violence-prone homeland of her brilliant biochemist mother, who was murdered along with Tana’s father. The killers, never apprehended, seem to suspect that Tanzania Grey is actually Amelia Robinson, the girl who escaped their deadly grasp. But when Tana sees a Mom Lookalike in the promotional video for the race, she can’t say no. She doesn’t know whether to be alarmed or delighted when her former race partner Bash Callendro, the “love child” of the U.S. President, arranges to run with her. Tana’s determined to find any remaining family in Africa, and expose the secrets that led to her parents’ deaths. As the clues pile up, Tana realizes that her quest for the truth could destroy not only her and Bash, but will also endanger the lives of everyone she cares about back home.
