"The Pride, back in L.A.? Their parents, alive? Karolina had never realized hope and fear could feel so much alike." Written by New York Times best-selling author Christopher Golden, Runaways: An Original Novel is a fresh take on the Marvel fan favorite. Including the first issue of the revived Runaways comic series written by Rainbow Rowell and with art by Kris Anka, it's easy for fans of the comics, fans of the new Hulu TV show, and first-time readers to all enjoy this new take on an old classic. Turns out murderous Super Villains don't make for good parents. The Runaways had no choice. They had to kill them. Well, more or less. Now Nico, Karolina, Gert, Chase, and Molly are on the run again, hiding out and trying to regain a sense of normalcy. But kids with super powers don't get to be normal. The city is overrun with criminals, each faction bent on murdering them for one reason or another. It's only when the Runaways uncover the truth behind their parents' past that they realize the evil isn't just in L.A. It's everywhere.

      Gr 7 Up-What's a teen to do after stopping your evil parents from taking over the world? For the group known as the Runaways, a much-needed break is in store. After finding out their parents are part of the evil cabal known as "The Pride," Nico, Karolina, Gert, Chase, and Molly (along with Gert's pet dinosaur), want to do the things that normal teens do: go on dates, hang out at the mall, and keep track of their social media. However, the life of a reluctant superhero is never done. Clues start popping up around Los Angeles that their parents might not exactly be vanquished. Fans of the popular "Runaways" comics as well as the new Hulu series of the same name will devour this new adventure about their favorite reluctant superhero misfits. Strong characterization is present throughout. Golden, a veteran of several film/TV/comic adaptations, tells a story that devoted fans and newcomers will enjoy (a brief synopsis of the previous events are included in the first chapter). A miniature version of the first issue of the 2017 Runaways comic (written by YA favorite Rainbow Rowell) is included in the back matter. VERDICT Those who enjoyed the source material will not run away from this thrilling story. A great choice for YA collections.-Christopher Lassen, BookOps: The New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library
