As a sophomore girl in highschool, I really enjoy reading realistic fiction books. I enjoy reading these books because I can actually get interested in them, and I actually like reading them. It's safe to say that they are my favorite genre. The books I can not stand to read are informational books. I loose interest very fast. The book I am reading right now is called "The Running Dream" it was written by Wendlin VAn Draanen. It is about a Highschool junior, named Jessica. Jessica loves running track. After setting a new state record in the 400 meter dash, Jessica and everyone else on the team were celebrating their overall victory when they were struck by an uninsured truck driver. One runner lost her life and another lost her leg. But it just so happens that girl who just set a new state record in HER race was the one who lost her leg. After the accident Jessica has absolutely no idea what she is going to do, runing was her life. Her family struggles with insurance bills, and Jessica feels like her life has no meaning. As of now this is all tht has happened in the book, but I really reccomend everyone to read this book i can already tell it will have a great ending!
