The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen packs a perfect punch - or kick - of heart. It is a bundle of emotion, humor, and inspiration. It reminds me of a fictional version of Just Don't Fall by Josh Sundquist. You could read it in a day or two, as it's succinct, but doesn't lack the necessary substance. Draanen has done it again!
