The running dream is about a girl named Jessica Carlisle who got in a bus accident on the way to a cross country meet and lost her leg. One of her friends died but everyone else survived. When Jessica's doctor says she won't be able to run again, Jessica believes him and gives up.

Tgilbert If you like books with sports and action this book would be perfect for you. This book is written in first person pov because Jessica tells her story on how she recovers from her injury. 13mo

Running was the only thing that made Jessica feel most alive.So when she loses a leg in a tragic accident, she is devastated. The doctor told her that she‘ll walk again with a prosthetic limb,but to Jessica that‘s cold comfort.Walking isn‘t running; just standing up made her shake .Jessica struggles and struggles to get back into life but as she‘s struggling she gets to know a girl named Rosa.

Tgilbert Rosa has cerebal Palsy , and begins to see her future is full of opportunities. 1y
Tgilbert Will Jessica ever run again? 1y
MissYaremcio Oooo that looks so good! I was just missing the recommendation and theme. 3/6 1y
Tgilbert the theme of this book is man vs self because she is pushing to get her self pack on the track after her injury.I think this book is good for anyone that loves sports.Because, in every sport there will always be downfalls and in this book there is lots of ups and downs which makes it a very good book 14mo
