The Running Dream By: Wendelin Van Draneen

“The Running Dream” is a book about a girl named Jessica. Jessica runs track and on the way back from her track meet her team was on a bus. The bus got into an accident and Jessica had her leg amputated, her friend also died. She recovered and met a girl named Rosa who was in a wheelchair. Jessica has a prosthetic leg and she feels like her dream of running is over. Her coach shows her videos of runners with prosthetics and she suddenly regains hope. Her team raises money and they buy her a running leg. As her dreams are coming true she also finds a way to make Rosa’s come true.

This book is really good and it keeps you wanting to read it and it is very interesting. It is sad at times like when she went to visit her friend in the cemetery that died. But it gets happier when Jessica starts learning how to run again. It is also a very inspiring story because of the end. And it is just a nice story to read.
