The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen

Title: The Running Dream


Author: Wendelin Van Draanen


Length: 336 pages


Blurb: 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.

I love every possible thing about this book. I love the way the main character talks, and the way she narrates everything in the book. From the accident to crossing the finish line.

The only thing I didn't like was that there weren't enough moments where her sister talked to her. I like books that have sibling moments.

The Verdict?

So I give this book 4/5 Eiffel Tower Hearts.

The Book Lover Questionnaire Tag!

I was tagged by Daisy @ A Bookish Flower to do The Book Lover Questionnaire Tag!

1) Do you have a specific place for reading?
Nope. I can probably read anywhere, except for on the school bus. That just makes me nauseous.

2) Bookmark or random piece of paper?
Bookmarks. Mostly sticky notes with a cute message.

3) Can you stop anywhere in a book or does you have to finish the chapter?

Have to finish the chapter. I need to find out what happens, and if I don't, it'll be nagging me for the rest of the day. Though, I sometimes stop anywhere.

4) Music or TV while reading?

Music all the way. Music sort of helps me, but sometimes I prefer to read in silence. The TV would distract me. 

5) Do you eat or drink while reading?

I love my food, so definitely eating. Except, I hate it when I sometimes get food on my book.

6) One book at a time or several?

One book at a time, except for school projects, and things like that.

7) Reading at home or elsewhere?

At home with music. Or, in the car, going to D.C., to visit my brother while he's at college. 

8) Read out loud or silently?

Silently. I have to be yelled at for at least 10 times when I'm reading. Sometimes, my parents just give up.

9) Do you read ahead or skip pages?

Don't even ask. I have a bad habit of going to the end, or skipping pages. I am TRYING VERY HARD to break this habit. VERY HARD!

10) Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

New. Except, for when I love the book a lot. (This mainly happened when I was younger)

11) Do you write in your books?

NO WAY HOSE!                                                                                 

That was so much fun! Thanks Daisy!

I hope you guys can join me!

I AM PROUD TO BE A GIRL!

Honestly, I hate how most people underestimate girls. Girls should ALWAYS be respected, but whatever we do is criticized. Does it matter if I'm not good at a certain sport? Does it change how I look? It doesn't, and honestly, girls are amazing, I just want people to know that. We get rated based on our looks, and the way we act. Does it matter? I for one, believe that when we have equal justice between men and women this SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! Am I right ladies, or am I right? The song below represents this message perfectly. I AM PROUD TO BE A GIRL!

I love this song! It's so inspiring!
