Eight-lane Runaways av Henry McCausland

Readers follow characters'' paths in a fantastical world of endless tracks. One runner relies on her poncho to give her direction. Another has a suddenly missing appendage. There are algebra dogs, a juice institute, and a helpful network that consists of miles of string that proves that, no matter how far apart, the friends you can rely on are the ones you met while traversing life''s twisty-turny trails. With elaborate landscapes and thrilling kinetic energy, matched with a laugh-out-loud, idiosyncratic sense of humour, this is a one-of-a-kind read.
