Runner

Runner by Robert Newton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

High note is probably a reflection of my disappontment with my this year's reading.
Runner is a very down to earth relation of life in poor suburbs of Melbourne just after the I WW.
Charlie, a boy, whose family is fighting for survival after his father's death got a chance to improve their financial condition.
The chance is linked with strange connections and high risk.
Charlie takes all, but at each stage is nurtured by love to his family and loyalty to friends.
