This books tells the continuing story of 16 year old Maude March from her 12 year old sister, Sallie's, point of view. This is definitely a second book; you REALLY need to read the first book in the series (The Misadventures of Maude March) to understand what is going on in this one. Maude and Sallie have settled in with their Uncle Arden. Maude and Sallie sent the money from the bank robbery back to the sheriff in Des Moines with a letter explaining how they were innocent. They keep waiting for Maude's name to be cleared while holding their breath every time a lawman walks by. Then, the unthinkable happens and Maude is arrested while Uncle Arden is out of town and it is up to Sallie and Marion to break her out of jail. Then the three of them are on the run again. A fun adventure story with a good bit of humor thrown in. I liked it very much.

Audrey Couloumbis' MAUDE MARCH ON THE RUN! presents another story of the spirited pre-teen determined to see justice is done. It's a sequel to THE MISADVENTURES OF MAUDE MARCH and comes from a Newbery Honor winner who here presents a vivid winning story of orphaned sisters who break jail and run - to try to prove innocence in the harsh world of the Old West.
