genevieve asked Carl Deuker:

Hi, your book, Runner, is the most important/special book to me because it was the book that sparked something in me and got me into reading, so thank you. I love the suspense in the storyline and think it was such a great story. My question is, Why did you write Runner? When did the story come to your head?

Carl Deuker I was working on Gym Candy when 911 happened. Sports seemed silly, so I tried for a YA book about terrorism that would also be about community. I’m glad you liked it.
