Two seventh graders discover it takes more than grit and a good pair
of shoes to run 13.1 miles. You've got to have a partner who refuses to
let you quit.
Drew was never much of a runner. Until his dad's unexpected diagnosis.
Mia has nothing better to do. Until she realizes entering Half Moon
Bay's half-marathon could solve her family's housing problems.
And just like that they decide to spend their entire summer training to
run 13.1 miles. Drew and Mia have very different reasons for running,
but these two twelve year olds have one crucial thing in common (besides
sharing a birthday): Hope. For the future. For their families. And for
each other.
