My Review: 

I have had the pleasure of reading previous books written by the talented author, Nancy McDonald. I jumped at the chance to read her release, Girl on the Run. It is just what I would have expected from her writing and was far from being disappointed. Even though the book is only around one hundred and fifty pages, it is full of adventure and action. I admired the bravery and courage of the main character, thirteen year old Amelia Mayer. She is thrown into the new world of what is expected of her and what she believes is right. I wanted to keep reading to find out what choices she will make. It was quite the journey to go with her in 1930s era of Nazi run Berlin. The vivid details of the times made me feel as though I was right there seeing the events unfold in real time. I thought it was great.

Girl on the Run will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers and fans of historical fiction. I believe they will not be disappointed and enjoy it as much as me. I will be on the look out for more books by Nancy McDonald to see where else she takes her characters to next. 

I received a paperback copy of Girl on the Run from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
