The Running Dream

whale I haven't read anything new these past few days -- so sorry, but I do remember this book, The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen.
I really really loved this book. It taught me so much about getting through hard things. Wow I'm reminiscing right now &  ya'll should go read this book!!
Honestly since it's been a while, I don't wanna completely ruin this summary, sooo summary from: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8354134-the-running-dream
"Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. She's not comforted by the news that she'll be able to walk with the help of a prosthetic leg. Who cares about walking when you live to run?
As she struggles to cope with crutches and a first cyborg-like prosthetic, Jessica feels oddly both in the spotlight and invisible. People who don't know what to say, act like she's not there. Which she could handle better if she weren't now keenly aware that she'd done the same thing herself to a girl with CP named Rosa. A girl who is going to tutor her through all the math she's missed. A girl who sees right into the heart of her.
With the support of family, friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually be able to run again. But that's not enough for her now. She doesn't just want to cross finish lines herself—she wants to take Rosa with her."

You know when people read books & say "you will laugh and cry along with the characters" well for this book, that was so true!! It is very well written & DUDE I JUST REALIZED ITS THE SAME AUTHOR AS FLIPPED!!!!!

Okay, so I do believe it had some cussing in it. I can't remember how many words though since its been a while. I will probably end up re-reading it soon, and then I will make modifications :-)

Rate: PG/PG13
   clean, depending on how many cuss words
GOOD OR GOODBYE?  GOOD! 
 very well written & thought provoking



NITTY GRITTY:
Like I said above, I can't remember how many cuss words there are. I don't believe it says the F word, but probably the H & D word.
Sorry I can't be of more help!


THANKS FOR READING!
