Someone to Run With

Someone to Run With

Author(s): David Grossman

Location(s): Jerusalem

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): early 2000s

The story of a lost dog, and the discovery of first love on the streets of Jerusalem are portrayed here with a gritty realism that is as fresh as it is compelling.

When awkward and painfully shy sixteen-year-old Assaf is asked to find the owner of a stray yellow lab, he begins a quest that will bring him into contact with street kids and criminals, and a talented young singer, Tamar, engaged on her own mission: to rescue a teenage drug addict.

A runaway bestseller in Israel, in the words of the Christian Science Monitor “It’s time for Americans to fall in love with (Grossman’s) Someone to Run With.”
