Description
"Eric—Mom and Dad are gone. I don't know what happened, but I'm going to find out."
Eric might not be getting along with his family—or anyone else, for that matter—but he's pretty sure a boarding school in another country isn't the answer. Skilled in parkour, running helps him deal. So be it, he decides. Do the time and get out. Flow like water. But when he gets a cryptic message from his brother telling him their parents have been abducted, and then his brother disappears, he realises they weren't punishing him, they were hiding him. To find them, Eric has to discover the secrets of his parents' research, but the conspiracy he uncovers threatens more than just his family. With help from unlikely new friends, a hack-first-ask-questions-later approach to computers, and a dangerous plan, he soon learns that some secrets don’t want to be found, and others have a way of revealing themselves at all the wrong times.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
“This book was such a great read! It had just the right amount of action, mystery, and adventure to keep me wondering what was going to happen next. The descriptions were so vivid I felt like I was always right there alongside Eric and Tess. I recommend this book if you're looking for something you won't want to put down!”
- Kathleen Lane, Grade 12 student
“I found Hit the Ground Running to be a thrill to read from beginning to end... it was a fast-paced read that held my interest the entire time. I loved the subtle humour and pop culture references... Meticulously researched, the author obviously did his homework on locations, because you felt like you'd been to these places personally. An action packed adventure.”
- Leah Kincaid, advance reader
“This book is an upgraded version of The Di Vinci Code and Sherlock Holmes for young adult readers who will find its wit and humour easy to identify with and its mystery intriguing. It's hip, current, and has something for everyone... a mystery, a murder, a monster, a mystical magic, and even a little hint of modern romance.”
- Jennifer Durling, advance reader
“Engaging characters combine with an intriguing plot line to hook the reader and lure them into the mystery at the core of Hit the Ground Running.”
- Judith Engram, advance reader
“Mark Burley captured me from the first chapter and kept me running until the last one. The story felt so real! I can't wait for the next one!”
- Terry Zinck, advance reader
