Runaway

Sixteen-year-old Rose Mendoza isn't like everyone else-he's a blue hyena trying to survive high school, the weight of a troubled home, and the pressure of simply existing in a world that doesn't make space for him.

But everything changes the night of a high school party.

When the worst happens, Rose is left to take the blame. With his life spiraling out of control, he goes on the run-chasing a distant hope of freedom in Alaska, where he plans to disappear, change his name, and start over.

But the road to escape is anything but simple. With danger at every turn and his past refusing to stay buried, Rose and his friend must face a series of brutal challenges. How far will a 16-year-old go to survive-and protect the only thing that still matters?
