Learning doesn't have to be boring . . .

Run tells the story of Toy and Kwan, two Thai siblings who find themselves on an incredible adventure which takes them from the streets of Bangkok to the alien landscapes of a distant world. On their own after the disappearance of their mother, the pair finds themselves faced with deadly robots, otherworldly creatures and mysterious allies with superhuman powers.

Written and drawn by a Thai native, Run brings an exciting, modern approach to Thai-produced comicbooks. Run aims to inspire a new generation to engage their imaginations in crafting mythologies we as a nation will be proud to call our own. The eight issue series is especially tailored to domestic audiences, with easily identifiable characters and details, but can be enjoyed by readers of all ages and backgrounds.

Designed as a reading supplement for students wishing to better familiarize themselves with the English language, Run is what writer/illustrator Nirut Chamsuwan calls "education in disguise." Having spent many years illustrating comicbooks in the United States, Mr. Chamsuwan deeply appreciates the importance of good storytelling. He is also well aware of the necessity of reinforcing language learned in classrooms with supplementary materials. Supplementary reading is often a chore because it is geared primarily toward education at the expense of entertainment, and as a result readers, especially the young, are not motivated to pursue such reading on their own. With vocabulary common to curricular word lists, Mr. Chamsuwan has carefully crafted a story meant to capture the reader's imagination while offering a healthy dose of useful conversational English at the same time.

Each issue of Run includes extra sections featuring character profiles, vocabulary lists, review questions and interactive exercises specially created for this series.
