I normally love books and I love getting into them. But this good got you into it but it left you hanging at the end it just finish and you never had any questions answered. You don't know if anyone goes to jail, if the little girl gets better or other MAJOR details. I have to be honest, this is one of the worst books I have ever read. I know that's harsh, but it's true. If you really want to read this book don't waste your money to get it. Get it from a library.

Webber Freegy is a fifteen year old star runner on his high school track team. While sprinting home from school one afternoon, his grandfather pulls up along side him and offers him a ride to the mall. He also promises young Webber a new pair of running shoes. Webb is the apple of his grandpa's eye and on the ride to the mall, he convinces Grandpa to allow him to drive on a lonely stretch of road. The story flashes forward with Webber waking up in a hospital room with a badly shattered leg. He is told that Grandpa hit a little girl on the road and that she is in extremely bad condition. Webber is dazed and confused about the specifics, but slowly he regains his memory and realizes that he was driving the car when it hit the little girl. Grandpa tells Webber that he(Grandpa) is going to take the blame for the accident and that Webber should try to put it behind him. Instead, the rest of the book examines Webber's personal battle with trying to keep this horrible secret. He is devastated by what he has done and takes a deep look inside himself for answers about his father's death, his own worthiness to be alive, his future as a runner, and his relationship with Grandpa. Webber Freegy is a refreshing fifteen year old who desires to take responsibility for his actions. He deals with some very adult issues, much like many young people do today. Very realistic material! Good classroom reading!

I think the book was very good because it felt like you were in the book with Webber. He went through many challenges but he made it through them. The story is sad and also at the same time exciting. Anyone who reads my review should check out this book.
