WALK AWAY HOME
New York : Walker, 2002.
IL YA
ISBN 0802788289
I didn't run away from home exactly.  I just walked away.  There's a difference you know.  While my parents were away on vacation, I simply packed my bag and started putting one foot in front of the other.  I've always loved walking.  It's what I do.  So, it wasn't unusual for me to walk across the state after I left home.  I spent the nights camping and the days walking.  After several days, I ended up at Happiness Far.  With Wanda -- my aunt.  Although my mother would say that Wanda was rather flighty and irresponsible, I always felt close to her.  So, here I am.  Living with the "hip-pies" on the Far.  This is like some kind of a strange commune or something.  There are all sorts of interesting people.  But, I'm a walking kind of guy so I know I won't be here for long.
