The Beginner's Guide to Running Away from Home

What kid hasn't wanted to make their parents feel sorry for treating him badly?<br>And how better to accomplish this than to run away? Here's a guide showing how, from what to pack (gum--then you won't have to brush your teeth) to how to survive (don't think about your cozy bed) . Ultimately, though, readers will see that there really is no place like home. Like Judith Viorst's <i>Alexander and the Terrible,</i> <i>Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day,</i> here's a spot-on portrait of a kid who's had it. <br>And like Maurice Sendak's <i>Where the Wild Things Are,</i> it's also a journey inside a creative kid's imagination: that special place where parents aren't allowed without permission.
