The Running Dream is a book about a girl named Jessica who was a record breaking runner until she lost her leg in a car accident. After the accident, she wants to give up on life, but she doesn’t. After a lot of hard work, Jessica is finally able to walk again, but she is not happy with just walking...she wants to run! Along the way she encounters new friends who make her realize that she is more than just a runner. They help her realize her full potential, and they accept her for who she is. The turning point in the story happens when Jessica makes friends with Rosa, a girl who has cerebral palsy. Rosa also dreams of running one day. She teaches Jessica about setting goals, working hard, and never giving up. To tell you the rest would be spoiling the story, but you can make a prediction of what happens next, or you can pick up a copy of this great book. It can be enjoyed by readers of all ages because of its message of hope and perseverance. I recommend you read this book, and then pass it along to a friend.
