Run Away With Me
“Mark Sanderlin gives an outstanding performance of Selznick’s new audiobook about two teens who are finding first love…Sanderlin ramps up tension as their affections grow…Danny’s angst is palpable as his impending departure approaches…The detailed descriptions and the strong emotions in Sanderlin’s delivery more than compensate for the audiobook’s missing illustrations.

"I'm going to call you Danny. What are you going to name me?"
"Angelo."
Danny is spending his sixteenth summer in Rome. As his mother spends the day at work in a mysterious museum, he wanders the ancient sites and streets. Soon after his arrival, he encounters a shadow... who becomes a voice... who becomes a boy his age. Angelo.
Soon Danny and Angelo are spending as much time as they can together, piecing together stories of the city while only gradually letting their own histories be shared. Attraction leads to affection, and affection leads to both an intimate closeness and a profound fear of what happens next. Danny has never really had a home, or known the love of another boy. Angelo seems to have more experience... but he also has secrets just out of Danny's reach.
