Vincitore dello Student Vote, UKLA Book Award 2019 Highly Commended, UKLA Teachers Book Award 2019 Nominato per la CILIP Carnegie Medal 2019 Selezionato per il North Somerset Teachers' Book Awards 2018 Selezionato per il Little Rebels Award 2019 Selezionato per il Warwickshire Book Award 2019 Selezionato per il Tower Hamlets Book Award 2019 Il nonno di AJ è sempre stato quello che teneva unita la sua insolita famiglia, quindi quando muore le cose iniziano a sgretolarsi ai margini. AJ è preoccupato per i suoi genitori, ma loro non sembrano accorgersene. Per affrontare il suo dolore e tenere a bada la sua ansia, AJ fa ciò che lui e suo nonno sapevano fare meglio: correre. In giro per l'Olympic Park, puntando alle prove di corsa campestre, correndo per scappare, AJ sembra solo dirigersi sempre più vicino al disastro. Running On Empty è un bellissimo libro su false partenze e viaggi emozionali, con la speranza come traguardo finale. Dall'autore di Little Bits of Sky. Illustrazione di copertina di Rob Biddulph. "Lirico, commovente e realistico, Running on Empty di SE Durrant racconta la lotta di un assistente di 11 anni che sta iniziando la scuola secondaria e vuole correre come Usain Bolt. Con un cast ricco e diversificato, canta." - The Sunday Times "Running on Empty è uno dei migliori romanzi per bambini dell'anno." - The Express "Una scrittura meravigliosa sulla famiglia, la perdita, i sogni e i piccoli piaceri che ha un vero impatto emotivo." - The Bookseller "Adoro questo libro!... è un libro spensierato e tenero, caldo e divertente come lo stesso AJ." - The Official Jacqueline Wilson Magazine "Running on Empty è una storia profondamente commovente sulla lotta di un giovane assistente per tenere unita la sua famiglia... È scritto magnificamente e stimolante. Un libro davvero speciale." - North Somerset Teachers' Book Award "La situazione di AJ è descritta con un realismo potente, eppure con tocchi molto leggeri. È essenzialmente un giovane badante, i cui genitori hanno difficoltà di apprendimento, ma non c'è mai un sentore di stereotipo o un invito alla pietà. Durrant solleva punti importanti sull'evitare supposizioni con enorme sottigliezza, sensibilità e umorismo. Convincente, edificante e immensamente leggibile." - BookTrust

S.E. Durrant has wanted to be a writer since she was a child and has always squeezed writing in around the edges of her life. She spent her childhood in Scotland before moving to Leicestershire when she was twelve. She studied Fine Art (painting) and then travelled widely before settling in south London. She has taken on many jobs including working on a stall at Covent Garden market, selling paintings in Venice and teaching art to children. For many years she worked on research bids at the University of London. She now lives in Brighton with her partner and two teenage children, all of whom are taller than she is.
