Running Out of Time (An ALA Best Book for Young Adults)

Another one of my favorites that I read in my 5th grade reading class, but probably would be underwhelmed with today.

Read this in a single two-hour sitting. While it is for a younger audience and the writing and plot are fairly simple, it was a page-turner that I didn't want to put down. This was the book that the movie The Village basically ripped off -- a young girl lives in a village in the 1800s which is undergoing a diphtheria epidemic -- only for her mother to inform her it is not the 1800s, it's 1996, and she needs to escape the village and find someone who will help them, before all the children die. The plot is very simple, and the main character Jesse is a little frustrating in that she's so confused all the time, making the story a little opaque for the reader. But it was suspenseful and fun to read, and I got a little teary-eyed at the end. I think if I had read this when I was younger, it would've ended up one of my favorite books.

This book was DOOOOPE if I remember correctly from childhood.
