In "Off and Running" by Barrie Kreinik, a young girl named Tori faces the challenges of adolescence while dealing with the complexities of family dynamics and friendship. As she navigates the world of track and field, Tori finds solace in running, which becomes a source of empowerment and self-discovery. Along the way, she confronts personal struggles, learns about the value of teamwork, and grapples with the pressure to succeed. Through her determination and resilience, Tori ultimately discovers her own strengths and the importance of being true to herself amidst the chaos of growing up.
