Girl on the Run

WHAT IF THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB IS ACTUALLY A GIRL?

Girl on the Run, written by Julia Lock, is about a young girl Darcie, whose Father gets kidnapped. If you’re a girl and love having adventures, then this is book for YOU!

Darcie Lock has a strong and truthful relationship with her father, or so she thought…… Whereas Darcie and her mother have never had a strong relationship. Then Darcie finds out a secret that her mother and father share. Will this secret make or break their trust they have with Darcie.

Darcie Lock's father has disappeared and she is given a choice; try to help find him, or hop on a plane to the States, and safety, where her mother is waiting for her. Darcie is gadgetted up, attacked, and takes tea with the rich and privileged of Nairobi, but it is the characters who stick out in this story. She has to decide who she can trust, who has their own private motives, and who has more secrets than they care to share. Most importantly, she has to find her dad. The situations Darcie faces are solved more believably than in other spy stories.

My favourite character in this book is, of course, Darcie Lock. She is so courageous throughout the whole book. She risks her life to try and save her father. She has to hang out with creeps and live in the houses of assassins. 

I LOVE this book.  You can’t put the book down until you have read the last word. It’s like the book has you held captive. Another cool thing about this book is that there are really lively words, which helps the book to captivate you.  The question is, will Darcie Lock find her father, or is it too LATE?
