Run Like a Girl

Coming Of Age Perfect for fans of Furia, this YA debut follows a girl whose dreams of becoming an Olympic track star are thrown for a loop when she has to move in with her estranged father and learns her new school doesn’t have a girls’ track team—so she joins the boys’ team instead. Dera Edwards knows her life is over when she's shipped off to live with her estranged father in the middle of White Suburbia. To make matters worse, Dera learns that her new school doesn’t have a girls’ track team, shattering her dreams of getting a track scholarship and, one day, competing in the Olympics. Not one to give up easily, Dera joins the boys’ team instead. But while she has the school administration’s blessing, her new teammates and classmates are less than welcoming. Between that and her frustratingly distant father, Dera is positive her junior year is ruined.
