Running

Summary

Mariana's father is running for the highest office in the land. Mari knows he’ll make a
good president, but for her, the campaign is turning into a nightmare. From a disastrous live
TV tour of their home to doctored photos that go viral, she is right in the middle of it all—and
not in a good way. Worse, until now, she was unaware of her father’s political positions. But as
the campaign heats up, Mari finds it harder to ignore not just the news but the growing student
activism at her school, activism that seems pointedly against her father. She has always known
him to be a good, generous man, but maybe he isn’t who she thought he was. And confronting
him … well, that’s not an option. Or is it?
This inspiring, authentic, and gorgeously written novel about waking up and speaking up
will stay with you long after the last page is turned.
