Synopsis
'Fun and fresh and quietly radical, Ruby is the heroine of dreams!' Elle McNicoll
For sixteen-year-old Ruby, GCSEs are over and summer has just begun, so that means hanging out with her BFFs in the park on their roller skates and having fun. She didn't expect it to mean signing up to run in the Dawson Dash - a 5k race for sporty sixth-formers. Because Ruby is NOT sporty. But she really needs to prove wrong her mean brother and even meaner PE teacher about what a fat girl can do.
When Ruby starts to train, she doesn't expect that she would need help - nor that she would find it in the cute boy who has just moved in next door. As the two jog through the long summer evenings in south London's parks together, with Ollie only seeing her at her sweatiest and most vulnerable, the last thing she expected was that he might . . . like her. Or that she could allow herself to like him.
But nothing this summer is working out like she expected . . .

From the Back Cover
It's the start of summer and Ruby is planning on hanging out with her BFFs, roller skating in the park and having fun. But then she gets into a fight with her mean brother about what a fat girl can do . . . Before she knows it, she has signed up to run in the Dawson Dash - a 5k race that is wildly out of her comfort zone.
When Ollie, the incredibly cute boy who's just moved in next-door, offers to help her train, the 5k suddenly feels more possible and a lot more interesting. Proving her brother wrong never felt so exciting . . .
A joyful and warmhearted book about loving your body
