The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen
Summary: Jess is on her way back from a track meet when her bus is involved in a traffic accident and she looses one of her legs...and one of her teammates. This is the story of how she survives - physically and mentally.
Thoughts: Really enjoyed this book. I'm not a runner. At all. So, while I didn't completely understand how she felt about running, I could relate in other contexts. This book was totally accessible. It has a really sweet ending and will make you look at "disabled" people in a whole new light.
