Book Cover & Preview Text
: For example, I’ve thought of running away. I mean jus skipping out of school for a little bit and then coming back. I doubt that anyone would notice because I am that child no one notices. I thought that I would try it to see if it could be done. I pretended to take the flag down about half-hour before the day ended. I walked right out the classroom door and no one stopped me. I walked right down the side walk and turned right heading west. I kept on walking and it felt like I was not only invisible but totally grown up and independent as well.
