One day David Greene gets mad at his mom and runs away. He's done it before. But this time he doesn't return....

Another novel that would make a good movie. An eight year old boy decides to show his mom what's what, and he gets taken from the local mall. An interesting study in how easily children can be brain washed.
A story about a mother's resourcefulness and tenaciousness who stops at nothing to find her missing child.
Very good book, you will want to read it through to see what happens.
