Maya’s comments from the Baker H Block Class group.

I'm reading The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen. It's a book about running with a twist, the narrator is a girl and big track star who's lost her right leg in an accident. I'm in the middle of the book now and up to now she has been coping and dealing with this tragedy and slowly trying to adjust back to normal life... Without running. It's a pretty sad book, and as someone who loves to run I understand how devastated she is that she can no longer so the thing she is most passionate about. It really makes you appreciate what you body can do. Sometimes the main character, Jessica, can be a bit annoying and she has a lot of self pity. But she is also inspirational and by the middle of the book she seems to be gaining a lot of hope.
