Celia on the Run  
July 21, 2010
Author:  Sarah Mandell
Category:  Fiction: General/Other
Description:  In CELIA ON THE RUN, Nick Novaczek is a good kid, a clean-cut 17-year old with a free ride to college waiting for him. He's shy, a little dorky, afraid of everything, but deep down he craves danger. On the eve of his grandmother's funeral, danger finds him by the motel swimming pool. Her name is Celia; she's a hitchhiker, and she's everything he's not. Her beauty queen smile and cursing lips are just the first things to lure him in. He's fascinated with her cross-country mission to make amends with her father, but more so by her bold advances. After one extremely lucky night, Nick is drowning in puppy love. He makes the daring decision to steal his parents' car and join Celia's wild adventure. It's the mistake he's been waiting his whole life to make.

A few hundred miles in, they've dodged a train, jumped off a bridge, and scammed everyone in their path. Nick is blossoming into a teenage fugitive, just like Celia, and he's never been happier. But the money runs out, Celia's dark secrets surface, and Nick is head-over-heels for the hot-tempered beauty queen who wants nothing more than to get home to New Jersey. At least that's what she keeps saying. Never mind the vintage revolver in her suitcase.
