Run for your life / Trevor Kew. by Kew, Trevor. James Lorimer & Company Ltd., Publishers, 2017. Call #: FICTION KEW Subjects Refugees -- Juvenile fiction.   First Nations -- British Columbia -- Juvenile fiction.   Cross-country running -- Juvenile fiction.   Track and field -- Juvenile fiction.   Friendship -- Juvenile fiction.   Victoria (B.C.) -- Juvenile fiction. Series Sports stories. ISBN:  9781459411906 (pbk.) Description:  117 p. ; 20 cm. Notes:  For Chris Khalili, cross-country running is all about winning. And the only way he can hit top speed is by imagining scary figures chasing him through the woods around his home in Victoria, B.C. When forest fires to the north cause mass destruction, Chris doesn't see why he has to participate in the charity run to help refugees from the fire, when he should be concentrating on winning the city finals. Chris becomes friends with Jason, a First Nations kid whose family has been displaced by the fire. He and Jason train together, but Chris is horrified that the shadowy figures in his mind have become stereotypical scary Natives. Chris is even more surprised by his dad's sudden interest in helping Jason and his family. For the first time, Chris wonders about his father's emigration from Iran as a young man, and starts to think about what it means to be a refugee and to have to actually run for your life.
