Running Out of Time is a book by Margaret Haddix. Jessie lives in a village called Clifton, in what she thinks is the year 1840-but what she learns is really 1996. The children of Clifton are dying of a disease that there is medicine for in 1996. But why aren't they getting the medicine? Why do people want the children to die? No one is supposed to leave the village. Jessie has to escape and get the medicine-before it is too late.
I would recommend this book for preteens and people in their early teens.
