The Running Dream


This book proves that you don't really need action scenes or true love to make a story interesting.

The Running Dream is inspirational. It reminds you to appreciate what you have and what you love. That people who are different should be celebrated.

I admit, I cried at the end. (happy crying☺)

This book is about a girl named Jessica who's lost part of her right leg in a bus accident, which means she'll probably never be able to run again. It shows how she over comes obstacles, from little things like  walking a few feet on crutches, to navigating through high school.

There's nothing over-dramatic. Jessica's doesn't suddenly just start walking. It's a steady climb up. It's very true to what I think it would actually be like to lose a leg.

Fans of Jerry Spinelli and realistic fiction will enjoy this book!

Peace, Love, and I Give This Five Stars!
