From #1 New York Times bestselling author/illustrator
Brian Selznick, a profoundly romantic YA novel about two boys
finding each other and falling in love over one summer in Rome.

  "I'm going to call you Danny. What are you going to name me?"



  "Angelo."


  Danny is spending his sixteenth summer in Rome. As his mother
  spends the day at work in a mysterious museum, he wanders the ancient
  sites and streets. Soon after his arrival, he encounters a shadow
  ... who becomes a voice ... who becomes a boy his age. Angelo.



  Soon Danny and Angelo are spending as much time as they can together,
  piecing together stories of the city while only gradually
  letting their own histories be shared. Attraction leads to affection,
  and affection leads to both an intimate closeness and a profound
  fear of what happens next. Danny has never really had a home,
  or known the love of another boy. Angelo seems to have more experience
  ... but he also has secrets just out of Danny's reach.






  Run Away With Me is a stunning creation, weaving words
  and illustration to tell the story of a transformative
  love over the course of one Roman summer.
