Résumé : A 2019 Batchelder Honor Book
2021 Global Literature in Libraries Translated YA Book Prize Shortlist
From one of Italy?s favorite authors of young adult literature comes a gripping, true-to-life thriller of a Sicilian boy?s fight to survive after his family is torn apart by the Mafia.
A talented young runner, Santino lives in Palermo, Sicily?a beautiful region of Italy that?s dominated by the Mafia. With Santin?s first communion approaching, his father and grandfather carry out a theft to pay for the party?but they steal from the wrong people. A young, cocky Mafioso summons them to a meeting, and they bring the boy. As Santino wanders off into the old abandoned neighborhood, he hears shots and runs back to see two armed men and his father and grandfather slumped over in the car. The boy barely escapes with his life. Now, he?s left with a choice: cooperate with police and be a ?rat,? or maintain Omert?: the code of silence.
Twelve-year-old Lucio lives in the northern Italian city of Livorno and dreams of sailing when not taking care of his his young sister, Ilaria, and his sick mother, who is convinced that a witch has cursed her. One day, Luci?s mother goes missing and he receives a mysterious text: ?Come to Palermo. Mamma is dying.? Panicked, Lucio grabs Ilaria and rushes to Sicily, where Luci?s and Santin?s stories converge with explosive results.
Inspired by a real-life Mafia episode, Silvana Gandolfi?s Run for Your Life is a powerful survival story of young people finding the courage to do the right thing when faced with the cruel realities of the adult world.
