This is such a great graphic novel about finding where you fit in middle grade. But also overcoming some insecurities while dealing with changes around you.
I liked this look into Alyssa's story and how cross country became really good for her even though it was challenge and she was dealing with other challenges in her life.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC

As a former cross country runner, this book warmed my heart! I know the impact running and cross country can have and the stability it can provide. Run Home is a heartfelt graphic memoir that captures the challenges and growth of 14-year-old Alyssa as she navigates high school, a new stepfamily, and the unexpected journey of joining the cross-country team. Through expressive illustrations and honest storytelling, Alyssa’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, friendship, and finding strength in the face of adversity. A must-read for middle-grade readers seeking an inspiring and relatable tale.
