RUN FOR IT!

      Set in 1939 as the world goes to war, RUN FOR IT! follows the cross-country path of two teenage American boys, Robert Bell and Merwyn Peterson, who see a man murdered and run for their lives.

      For reasons that seem entirely plausible to the boys, they choose to deal wth this problem without involving their parents or the police. (These are teenagers, after all.)

      To the killers who are after them, the boys look like easy prey. And they are – a couple of yearlings, separated by wolves from the herd.

      They try to escape their pursuers by staying close behind them – tailing them from Chicago to New York City and up the Atlantic coast to Eastport, Maine.

      In the process of staying alive the boys outwit the Mob, exasperate a Black cop, confound some Irish patriots (terrorists, actually), foil the devilish commander of a U-boat, and end up in the arms of a couple of beautiful blondes.

      However… in the Bay of Fundy near Eastport, just off Campobello Island (where President and Mrs. Roosevelt have their “little cottage” -- twenty rooms!), the boys are caught.

      They face a fate worse than death.

      What they need, besides ingenuity and courage, is a miracle.
