This book is the sequel to Being Nikki by Megan Cabot. In Runaway, Nikki Howard continues in her search to uncover the horrible deeds of her boss, Robert Stark. Although there's a twist in this story; Nikki Howard is really Em Watson. She was given a brain transplant when her body was supposedly killed by a flat screen tv crushing her in which her brain was swapped with Nikki Howard's. Everyone thinks she is the real Nikki and has no idea that being hidden away from the rest of the world is the real Nikki Howard, just in a different body. But what's the big deal about being Nikki Howard? Nikki Howard is an international super model who is the face of Stark Enterprises, a multimillion dollar company who trumps all other companies by selling anything and everything possible. Their newest item they have released is a Stark Quark, a miniature laptop geared to the efficiency needs of young adults and students. Although this new laptop looks extraordinary, the students don't know the truth behind the security system put on it. Every time they enter information it's being loaded and saved onto Stark's mainframe. However, Stark only saves the information for the young, healthy, attractive users. What could Stark be planning to use this information for? Throughout this book Nikki (otherwise known as Em) searches for the truth behind the Stark Quark's and the illegal brain transplants funded by her boss Robert Stark. With the help of her on-again off-again boyfriend Christopher, Robert Stark's son Brandon, her roommate Lulu, her sister Freida, and even the real Nikki Howard, she discovers things she could have never imagined. This book along with the first in the group is a great combination of mystery, adventure, and a bit of science fiction here and there. I would recommend it to anyone who has read the first book, probably teenage girls, who are looking for a little bit of every genre in one book

ReplyDeleteI read Being Nikki last year and really liked it. But I never knew there was a sequel. I really like the plot of this book and will definitely read it!

This book sounds very interesting! Generally, I don't enjoy reading sci-fi or adventure, but maybe I'll give it a try!

This is a really good summary and it seems like a book that I can enjoy because it isn't just the same, boring "chick-lit" because it has an interesting, unique plot like no other book.

I lived this series. It's probably one of the very few series by Meg Cabot that I actually liked.
