The Running Dream (Schneider Family Book Award - Teen Book Winner)

When Jessica is told sheâ€™ll never run again, she puts herself back togetherâ€”and learns to dream bigger than ever before. The acclaimed author of Flipped delivers a powerful and healing story.
Â
Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. Sheâ€™s not comforted by the news that sheâ€™ll be able to walk with the help of a prosthetic leg. Who cares about walking when you live to run?
Â
As she struggles to cope, Jessica feels that sheâ€™s both in the spotlight and invisible. People who donâ€™t know what to say act like sheâ€™s not there. Jessicaâ€™s embarrassed to realize that sheâ€™s done the same to a girl with CP named Rosa. A girl who is going to tutor her through all the math sheâ€™s missed. A girl who sees right into the heart of her.
Â
With the support of family, friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually be able to run again. But thatâ€™s not enough for her now. She doesnâ€™t just want to cross finish lines herselfâ€”she wants to take Rosa with her.
Â
â€œInspirational. The pace of Van Draanenâ€™s prose matches Jessicaâ€™s at her swiftest. Readers will zoom through the book just as Jessica blazes around the track. A lively and lovely story.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews
