A boy who runs away from parents who engaged in cruelty gets tricked into accepting a deceptive offer...

"A boy runs away from his parents because of cruelty that his parents engaged in; and then he receives an offer from a stranger that sounds appealing, but then it turns out that he was not given all of the information about what accepting the offer would mean for him by the deceitful people who turned out to be captors rather than saviors... I’ve read the first 2 chapters of this book so far, and it’s very well-written and deals with intense themes like deception, abuse, and cruelty. I highly recommend this book, and I look forward to reading the rest of it..."
