Description Praised by Jack Gantos, author of Dead End in Norvelt , as "a quick read with a kick at the finish," this debut novel sensitively and memorably captures a teen runner\'s relationship with his autistic older brother. Like most siblings, Leo and Caleb have a complicated relationship. But Caleb\'s violent outbursts literally send Leo running. When the family is forced to relocate due to Caleb\'s uncontrollable behavior, Leo tries to settle into a new school, joining the cross-country team and discovering his talent for racing and endurance for distance. Things even begin to look up for Leo when he befriends Curtis, a potential state champion who teaches Leo strategy and introduces him to would-be girlfriend, Mary. But Leo\'s stability is short-lived as Caleb escalates his attacks on his brother, resentful of his sport successes and new friendships. Leo can\'t keep running away from his problems. But, with a little help from Curtis and Mary, he can appreciate his worth as a brother and his own capacity for growth, both on and off the field. Praise from Jack Gantos , author of Dead End in Norvelt , Hole in My Life and The Trouble With Me "Currinder\'s novel, Running Full Tilt, is a fast-paced convincing drama of a young runner whose legs circle him back to the many conflicts he is trying to escape--but he can\'t outrun himself. A quick read with a kick at the finish." Praise from Paul Volponi , author of The Final Four , Black and White , and Rikers High "We feel the inner strength it takes to compete on every page of this splendid narrative, until, as readers, we are running as well--engrossed, and loving every step of the journey." About the Author Mike Currinder ran cross-country and track in high school, and earned a college athletic scholarship. Running Full Tilt novel is a hybrid of his collective experiences as a competitive runner and as an adolescent with an autistic sibling. He is currently a teacher and track and cross-country coach at The American School in Japan. Running Full Tilt is his debut novel.
