Half Moon summer / Elaine Vickers.

Vickers, Elaine, (author.).

Summary:

Two seventh graders, Drew and Mia, spend their summer in Half Moon Bay, California, training for a half-marathon, and supporting each other as their families struggle with medical and financial problems.
"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. Along the way, they both discover it takes a lot more than a good pair of shoes. Drew and Mia may 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." -- Book jacket.
