Rating- 10/10 so far...
This book is about-
A young girl named Sarah who loves to run just like her Dad who died in a motorbike accident. She ran every day for 30 mins straight in rain hail or shine. Her Grandmother who looks after her gets worried when she runs in the rain as both Sarah's Dad and Sarahs Grandfather died in accidents because of rain.
Sarahs Grandmother doesn't like Sarah getting her shoes wet and muddy because they were her dads but living on a farm the muddy paddocks are the only place that Sarah can run. Everyone is always telling Sarah how amazing she is at running and that one day she will be winning medals just like her father. Although that is really nice Sarah doesn't like it when people talk about her Dad because it makes her wonder a lot of things about him as he died when she was only 3 years old so she doesn't remember him at all!
At the moment I am finding this book really sad but interesting. Sarah and I are kind of alike in a way because we both love to run.
