I think the author wrote this book to express the issues of terrorism and smuggling. The lesson that I learned is no matter how much money you get, you should always do the right thing.
What might be some possible themes for this novel?
I think one of the themes is definatly the struggle with terrorism. I think this because the book was pretty much based on terrorism.
Will Chance break free from the terrorists?
What will happen to Chance's father?
Find out by reading the novel RUNNER
