Someone to Run With
Author: David Grossman
Desc: The story of a lost dog and the discovery of first love on the streets of Jerusalem are portrayed here with a gritty realism that is as fresh as it is compelling. When awkward and painfully shy sixteen-year-old Assaf is asked to find the owner of a stray yellow lab he begins a quest that will bring him into contact with street kids and criminals and a talented young singer Tamar engaged on her own mission: to rescue a teenage drug addict. A runaway bestseller in Israel in the words of the Christian Science Monitor: "It's time for Americans to fall in love with Someone to Run With."
