I think the Running Dream was a sad but inspiring book. I think the book was telling us to never give up because Jessica never gave up. I really love this book and recommend it for people that like sad but inspiring books! 5 stars.

i would give this book a five because i really love books that inspire people and that teach you to never give up on what you love to do. Even though jessica lost her leg she didn't give up running because she loved it. This book was also really sad. I almost cried at the part when [spoiler]. 5 stars.
