Born Scared by Kevin Brooks

3.0

13 year-old Elliot is scared of “everything” and hardly ever leaves the sanctuary of his room, or his home in rural England. But in the middle of a blizzard, Elliot realizes there’s been a mixup with his anti-anxiety meds, so his mother goes out, just for 10 minutes, to get them, but then she doesn’t come back. After several hours, Elliott screws up his courage and goes to look for her. Though Elliott is an engaging narrator, there is an odd tonal mix with a storyline about robbers. See my full review here.
