SHORT-LISTED: CBCA Book of the Year, Younger Readers, 2016
Pip Sullivan's tenth birthday was a disaster — and that was only the beginning.
With her beloved Sully in hospital and the welfare hot on her heels, Pip needs time, money and a place to stay. She's determined to stay one step ahead of Senior Constable Molly Dunlop! With help from her friends — including a psychic cat and a canine escape artist — Pip needs to stay out of dreaded foster homes so she can help Sully get better.
Run, Pip, Run is a warm-hearted story about a small girl on her own in a big city, but who knows a thing or two about loyalty, bravery and friendship.
