    Raiko's Run

    About this audiobook

    He was unbeatable. Out in front and unbeatable. It was the most wonderful feeling, and all he wanted to do was keep going.

    Raiko is a runner, and he's come a long way since he arrived with his mother from their war-torn homeland.

    The memory of his father spurs him on. He runs for his father, and in his mind he even runs with him. He runs for Jay, his best friend and personal trainer. He runs for his mother, and for the small town that has made them both feel so welcome. And he dreams that one day he will run for the country that has become his new home.

    A young refugee's tale that will touch your heart.

    A compelling story of friendship, family, courage and determination.
