Story
A great Australian yarn about a bold Australian outback adventure belonging to another time in another world, inspired by a true story. The happy routine life of two Perth boys is shattered one November day in 1950 when they are falsely accused of theft. With fabricated evidence mounting against them they decide to run away from their homes and families to avoid prosecution and pooling their meager pocket money they back the winner of the Melbourne Cup and fund an escape.

Publisher's Summary
A heart-warming, funny, beautifully told story for listeners of all ages from the bestselling author of Jasper Jones and Honeybee.
"You don't have to carry the weight of the world in your tool belt."
Annie Shearer likes to fix things. She lives in the country town of Upson Downs with her best friend, an adopted stray dog called Runt. The two share a very special bond.
After years evading capture, Runt is remarkably fast and agile, perfect for herding runaway sheep. But when greedy local landowner Earl Robert-Barren puts her family's home at risk, Annie directs Runt's extraordinary talents towards a different pursuit—winning the Agility Course Grand Championship at the lucrative Krumpets Dog Show in London.
However, two things stand in her way.
There is Fergus Fink, a vain and villainous dog handler determined to prevent Annie from upstaging him.
And a curious predicament: Runt will only obey Annie's commands if nobody else is watching.
Though she's used to fixing problems on her own, Annie enlists the help of her quirky family. There's Susie, her vibrantly fashionable mother, who is the worst baker in the nation. Her father, Bryan, who inherited the family farm and has a hidden passion for flower cultivation. Her teenage brother Max, an aspiring daredevil. And her grandmother Dolly, a one time champion sportswoman who, years after the death of her husband Wally, is now looking for love. Each make sacrifices and employ their own unique skills to get Annie and Runt to London.
With all eyes on them, Annie and Runt must beat the odds and the fastest dogs in the world to save her farm.
Runt is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of kindness, friendship, hurdles, hoops, tunnels, see-saws, and, above all, being yourself and bringing out the best in others.

Amazing
I just loved this book! I especially enjoyed the character Annie and she was just a little bit different. And I liked how there was someone greedy who just wanted everything for themselves.
