The Runaway Parents (Review)


 The 6th book in the series ties up a loose end from the first book in that it reveals the truth of whatever happened to John's parents. John is once again at the center of the story and for some reason abandons his love of the Spirit Flyer bikes to look for his parents. 

It feels a little out of character after what all John's been through but I guess since it's dealing with his parents he forgets everything else in a desire to find them again. I get it. Still, it feels a little bit stretched since he's made so many wise decisions before then. 

To be honest, I totally forgot about this story arc until reading this book. Bibee doesn't remind you of it after the first book so you're expected to remember it. I like that he made his audience pay attention and not remind them in every book about the disappearance of John's parents. 

Anyway, nice novel to move the series to its eventual conclusion.
