“It's disturbing how fast weeds take root in my garden of worthiness.
They're so hard to pull.
And grow back so easily.”
― Wendelin Van Draanen, The Running Dream

About The Book
The Running Dream is definitely not a book for just runners. Although it is a Young Adult novel, older people will enjoy it also.This book is about not giving up no matter what hurdle comes your way. You don't have to love running to love this book, you just have to be passionate about SOMETHING. This novel is about two MAIN lessons. One being to never stop or give up. You can face any problem with just a little bit of self-determination. Secondly, don't ever judge a person. EVER. You shouldn't look at a persons disability, but you should look at them and how they are. This is one heartbreaking yet joyful novel which'll make you laugh, cry, and just smile through the whole thing.
