Sixteen-year-old Jessica lives for running, but when she loses her right leg in a car accident, she thinks her life is over. She must face learning to walk again with a prosthetic limb, returning to school, and life as a normal teen. But when she meets classmate Rosa, who is a math genius and is wheelchair bound, Jessica dreams of running again—and taking Rosa with her. We’ll chat about the book and our favorite characters, and then enjoy activities and a sports-related craft. Open to grades 6-12. |
