The Running Dream (Book Review) by Ellen Held

The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen 

A girl who loses her leg in a tragic accident is sad enough as it is, but a girl who loses her leg and can no longer do the one thing that makes her feel complete is even worse.

When sixteen year old Jessica loses her leg, she not only lost a limb, but also the one thing that mattered most to her: running.

This book was very inspiring and in my opinion very well written. It describes the hardships that both she and her family went through. Not only is the story inspiring but a nice story of friendship with her previous friends and a new friend named Rosa who has been in a  wheelchair her entire life.  

I would give this book five stars.
