Amber Amphlett's story about Run,Zan Run
« Back to The Book That Changed My Life
Author: Catherine MacPhail
SynopsisKatie is being bullied at school - and cannot get anyone to believe her. She feels frightened and alone until one day when she is cornered by Ivy and her fellow bullies on the town dump. Katie is terrified, there is nowhere left to run. But suddenly, as if by magic, a girl called Zan rises from the rubbish in the dump and leaps to Katie's defence. But Zan is not willing to talk to Katie - all she wishes to do is keep her identity a secret. Slowly Katie learns the truth about Zan, and when she does, she realises Zan has much more to lose than the safety of her cardboard box. A gripping story that really brings the issue of bullying to a head.
This is Catherine MacPhail's first novel for children, which she wrote as a result of her own daughter being bullied at school.
My Story
I really enjoyed Run Zan Run by Catherine Macphail because found it really interesting, because of the way that the main character Katie Cassidy made life long friends with another important character called Zan. This book changed my life because of the way that the author described how severe bullying can actually be and she showed me a different perspective of bullying.
