Publisher's summary

Fourteen-year-old Adrianna arrives on Casey's doorstep with no possessions, no English, and no explanation. It will be a few weeks before Casey starts getting the shocking answers to her questions....

Brought to Casey as a short-term emergency placement, 14-year-old Adrianna arrives with nothing but her gratitude. Having turned herself in to a social services office some 100 miles away, she has no possessions, no English and, apparently, no history - not that she's willing to share, anyway.

She is a beautiful young Polish girl, with the bearing of a ballerina, but is terrified, malnourished and unwell. And, having slept rough for some time (the little they do know about her), she spends much of her first days with Watsons asleep in bed.

Growing concerned about Adrianna's well-being and her persistent high temperature, Casey decides to call in the GP. But, to her surprise, Adrianna becomes almost hysterical about being examined and, given her refusal to talk - even via the interpreter they've brought in for her - Casey's fostering antennae begin twitching. Where has she come from? And why is she so terrified to be touched? What has happened to make her so ill and scared?

It will be a few weeks before Casey starts getting answers to these questions. Shocking answers - ones that throw up a whole host of new questions and the beginning of a journey to find justice for Adrianna and, more importantly, a future and a home.

Reader

whoever read this story needs to looks like Kate Lock did it isn't good. for one thing all the voices were thrown together and she read too fast! I didn't know who was speaking, I couldn't even listen to all of chapter 1. Maybe you should get Penny McDonald to read your books Casey. Sorry but I was very disappointed. I will have to read the on my kindle now. I really love the stories being read to me but now with Casey Watson's books I will have to read them on kindle because Kate Lock reads them too fast. I'm very disappointed.

Worst Reading Of A Book

The story line was okay, however, the person reading the book was just awful! She read too slow, drawing her words out so much that the book became difficult to pay attention to. I found myself drifting off because she was so boring.

Beautiful story!

Casey I really enjoyed this one you give so much the kids You care for. And I’m glad things worked out for her and she got to keep her son.

Narration Terrible

I was so disappointed with this book. I thought the story seemed very interesting and was looking forward to starting it. Unfortunately I could not get past the narrator’s voice. I am honestly not super picky about the narrators as a whole. I have stuck out many that have not been great but were tolerable enough and I liked the story enough to make it to the end of the book. This was not the case for me with this book. I tried to stick it out but simply couldn’t. I still plan to read the book but will be getting the printed version.

Not what I expected

Would you try another book from Casey Watson and/or Kate Lock?

I don't think I'll buy another Casey Watson book. I wasn't fond of how long it took to tell the story. A lot of tangents leave you desiring a more direct route to how things are progressing.

Kate Lock took the accents a bit far. The voices she attributed to the characters seemed almost cliche.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The most interesting aspect is the basis and experiences the story is based on.

It wasn't as interesting to listen to though.

What didn’t you like about Kate Lock’s performance?

Kate Lock took the accents a bit far. The voices she attributed to the characters seemed almost cliche.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Runaway Girl?

I would cut the excessive descriptions of certain things.
