An enthralling young adult novel that I had the privilege of reading is Runner by Carl Deuker. Walking through my school library, it was luck of the draw that I’d come across a book so riveting. The brief summary that I read hooked me immediately. Chance Taylor is the main character and he is very relatable to most high school-aged people. He faces the common worries and fears of a normal high school kid, while combatting difficult family struggles. I recommend this book to any person looking for a gripping novel that will always keep you wanting more. I had previously never read any of Carl Deuker’s books, but that is going to change. He is an absolutely intriguing author.
Books have never really appealed to me, but Runner is the first exception. In the beginning of the story, Chance Taylor explains how his life differs from most other people’s lives. He lives on a rundown old boat with his inebriated father. They struggle from pay check to pay check, and his dad is in and out of jobs all the time. Chance is desperate for money and will do almost anything to get it. When a job opportunity opens, Chance seizes it. As the plot thickens, each page is more intense than the last. You’ll be right in the action.
The story has a lot of significant events that take place. A very important event is towards the beginning when Chance lets you in on his life. He explains how his mother left him and how he lives with his father. Also, he explains how he has little to no friends at school. This scene is so important because every reader can be empathetic towards his situation. He’s that stereotypical outcast that every school has. Another important scene is when he meets Melissa. Melissa is the first person to really reach out to him, and at first he doesn’t even understand it. She invites him to coffee and he agrees with absolutely no idea what to expect. That’s important to the story because it’s Chance leaving his comfort zone and doing something that better’s him as a person. It also helps lead him to take risks in life. One of the most important scenes is when he gets offered the job to carry the packages from place to place. His original response is no because he doesn’t want to be involved in any illegal activity. He eventually decides to take the risk because he needed the money. It surprised me that he held back his morals and decided to take the money because he seemed so sure he wasn’t going to do it. That one choice is what leads him down a very bumpy path.
All in all, I highly recommend this book to young adults looking for a thriller. On my scale of one to ten, this book is a nine. I rank it that because it has a great storyline and it’s never boring. Chance’s thoughts are always very in depth and the scenes are always powerful in some way. The action is very intense and many people will love how action-packed and dramatic it is. After reading this book, you’ll want to dive right in to another one of Carl Deuker’s works of fiction.

Review of Runner by Carl Deuker

In this book, Runner, Carl Deuker not only told a fantastic tale of family and friendship, he also perfectly told the internal workings of the "teenage society". He included many of the personal conflicts that today's adolescents must deal with.

This book is the story of a poor teenager, named Chance Taylor, living on a dinky little sailboat and who goes to a school filled with snotty rich kids. After his father loses his job, and only Chances job as a busboy on th...more

Chance goes to school everyday worrying what might happen to his father who is alcoholic & to the boat. Chance barely has enough money to pay debts .

I would recommend the book Runner by Carl Deuker to a friend because, it’s a very engaging book and you’ll never want to put it down. Three reasons that make my claim true are it has suspense, a lot of conflict, and relatable situations. Evidence that supports my claim is on (177) “I wanted them to contact me. So why was I getting panicky about the guys on the beach.” I chose this quote, because this part of the book was suspenseful. I wanted to know if Chance was going to tell someone about the...more

As a former Seattle-ite who spent a fair amount of time running in Ballard, and who also, coincidentally did some time as a dishwasher in a seafood restaurant, I enjoyed the book...mostly.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Carl Deuker when he came to speak at Dundee. Surprisingly I had never read anything by him (maybe because his books are mostly about sports.) Mr. Deuker was a very good speaker and during his presentation he talked about this book. It caught my interest so I purshased it to read.

I enjoy reading Carl Dueker for three main reasons. First, his works are in the young adult genre, and although I'm 41, that is comfortable and interesting reading. Next, most of what I"ve read from him revolves around sports. Lastly, I've never been to the Seattle area, and the settings are always in this area.

Now, Runner, fulfilled my expectations with a likable and interesting main character, Chance. His logical view on his father's alcoholism is believable and not over dramatic. I thought ho...more

Runner is a book about a young boy named Chance Taylor. Chance has not run into very much luck, and neither has his father. He lives his life just barely making it by and running into some trouble or decisions along the way. This book was very captivating and caught my attention.

He lives his life just barely making it by and running into some trouble or decisions along the way. This book was very captivating and caught my attention. I think we can all run into trouble and need some help and Chance has shown me that it can be possible to get yourself out of a hole, but you can also dig yourself deeper into one.
Chance Taylor is just a normal kid who goes to school, he has a job, and he goes through the same normal struggles any teenager would. Or so it seems. His father and he live on a little boat in a marina and his father drinks quite frequently adding to any problem a teenager just doesn’t need to deal with. Life isn’t going well for the two, but Chance relieves his stress by running. The two are barely making it when Chance’s father loses his job and causes Chance to make some life changing decisions. About running.
I read along many characters in this book, but there were some most important ones. Chance Taylor of course, the one whom we are finding out about his tough decisions. Jack Taylor is Chance’s dad, and he loses his job and pulls himself into trouble with alcohol and money. “The Fat Man,” as he is called in the book, is one man who just may change Chance’s life, but cause him a great deal of trouble. One character you don’t really think about much is Melissa Watts. She doesn’t really get talked about much, but she is in important character along with her dad in the book.
The author Carl Deuker has a very unique way of writing. I like it. He writes everything very short, but somewhat to the point yet with a mystifying side. Every chapter has about two to five pages, and is very easy to understand. There is something about it though that is very different.
This book really caught my attention and I enjoyed it very much. A person might say I enjoyed it because it is easy to read, which may be true, but it was very interesting and there was something going on the whole time. Books like Runner I love to read because it is not boring and you know that every time you open the book and read, there will always be something new going on.
All in all, this book has taught me a lot. Not only what you might think about not doing illegal things, but that everyone hits a rough patch in life. We need to fight through these hard times and not just sit and pout in the corner. This book reminds me to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the thunderstorm pass. Runner was a book a will never forgot about that touched my heart.

It kept my thoughts interested in the words as I was reading it. “Runner” is a book about a boy who has to worry about money in ways that most kids don’t. He worries about where his and his father’s food will come from, he worries about the moorage for the boat they happen to live on, and he worries constantly about his father.
This book starts off talking about Chance, the boy who is worried about money, and his father. It tells how Chance is a quiet boy in school, and doesn’t speak his opinions often. When he does speak what he feels though; it’s very strongly worded and makes someone think about their opinion. Then it goes into how Chance’s dad loses his job and Chance starts to see late bills on the table, he starts to notice they don’t have enough food; and he tries to figure out how to help his dad out anymore than he already is with his minimum wage job. Then a guy offers him an easy job. He says it’s easy money and short hours. Soon enough the guy talks Chance into the job and Chance is pretty sure he’s doing something illegal. But he needs the money so he takes the job and tries not to think about it.
In the book the main characters are Chance Taylor, Jack Taylor, Charles Burdett, Melissa Watts, Chance Taylor is the boy who has to worry about his father, and how he was fired again. Chance worries about bills and food, and everything a kid shouldn’t be worried about. Chance is the main character and most of the information about anyone is revealed about him. Chance takes a risky job he’s sure is illegal but he does it anyway to help his father out. Jack Taylor is Chance’s father. Jack is an alcoholic that can’t keep a job. He can’t afford to pay for moorage fees anymore for the boat that is his house. He also can’t afford food. Charles Burdett is the guy who offers Chance a job because he’s seen their late bills in the office he works at. Charles tells Chance he has easy money for him and that he should hear him out. Charles eventually convinces Chance to go in on the deal and Chance takes the job. Melissa Watts is a girl at school that Chance meets while he is in class, she’s very active about her opinions and openly speaks them constantly.
This author’s style caught my attention because the way he writes is short and to the point, but it also has a part of it that makes you want to keep reading. It was very interesting to me and I would definitely read another one of his books and recommend this one to somebody.
This book, like I just mentioned, was very interesting, it keeps the reader going and not wanting to put the book down. Even though the chapters are short and the writing is to the point; there is that mystery still there. This book was never boring and new things kept coming up during the chapters, that’s what kept me reading. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who wants a good read that will keep them interested in the book.
Runner taught me that we all have those times in our lives when we think about doing something we have the feeling we shouldn’t, and that we need to get past that urge to do something that isn’t right and keep our head held high with our thoughts open. There is always another way to do something. It’s never one choice. The better way might be harder, but in the end, it’s the hard work that pays off.

At first glance, Chance Taylor, Runner’s main character, has an awesome life, living on a sailboat with his dad in Seattle. And that would be really cool - except that the boat is a rickety bucket, he has no other house, he has been abandoned by his mom and (what, the other stuff wasn’t bad enough?) his dad is alcoholic and generally unemployed.

Responsible young man that he is, Chance seems more worried about paying the bills than his dad. Which is why, when offered a shady sounding job that pay...more

Book Review
I decided to read Runner by Carl Dueker. I believe he wrote the book to entertain, and interest young readers. It’s about a teenage boy named Chance Taylor (My favorite character because of the way he takes care of himself). Chance lives with his dad Jack Taylor, because his mom(Least favorite be she left chance saying she will come get him, but never did) walked out on them when he was younger. Him and his dad both live on a little sailboat called the Tiny Dancer where there is just barely enough room for both of them and their belongings.
Chance is a little different than most teenagers, you see his dad is a drunk so he can hardly keep a job, and that leaves chance worrying about their money problems, although they live on a boat they still have to pay for mortgage payment, sewage, and electricity bills not considering food, clothes and everyday things like soap, and toothpaste.
Chance works a part time job washing dishes at a local restaurant, while his dad sits at home smoking, and drinking. His dad try’s though he looks for jobs now and then ,but who would want to hire him? That’s why Chance is constantly on him to get a job and such stuff.
Chance loves to run usually everyday he runs about five miles, along the beach and a little around town. One day after he gets done running, he gathers his clothes, and a towel, and heads up to the utility room where he can shower up. As he is showering he hears the door open which kind of spooked him out because nobody ever comes in there. As he is about to the big bald fat guy that works the office now and then stops him. He starts talking about how he sees him run every day. Then he offers him a deal. It’s kind of a secret thing, and he tells chance not to tell anyone. He has to run every day, and do his same shower routine, and everything. The only he has to do is run to this area dig through some rocks find a package, and run back.
Chance is hesitant about the whole thing, but he finally accepts because the bald guy is paying him two hundred bucks a week to just run. Chance does this for about a month and a half doing everything right, but he starts to wonder. He thinks he might just be in some drug smuggling ring, but he’s not for sure. Then he finds out he might not just be in with drug lords it’s possible he could be helping terrorists smuggle in explosives, and when he finds out he realizes it may be too late to back out.
I would recommend this book to young readers who like a little action, and excitement. This book caused me to feel a little sorrow for Chance, and the way he had to live. I like it because I wasn’t able to predict the ending like most books. What kept me reading was wondering what was in the packages and what would happen to them. The ending was the most captivating part for me. If I was going to pick actors for this movie it would be Daniel Radcliffe as Chance, and Patrick Swayze. Lastly my favorite line is where he tries to argue back with the fat bald guy.
