A very good read, styled as an autobiography, of a young girl – a girl with brains in her feet, to borrow the title of a film about a young British female runner. Kadeena is a burgeoning sprinter, until she's not – not doing so hot on a practice race she pitches to the ground, having had a childhood stroke. She's eventually diagnosed with something else, and has to work around the fact that a lot of the time her legs won't obey her wishes. But there are just as many ways to follow the path to fame as there are steps up to Whitby Abbey – and Kadeena's route to both is on these pages.

This really nicely takes a young girl's approach to life (Kadeena now being 33) and shows the contrast of it with the attitude of a youngster facing a most altering kind of diagnosis. "Kad" has her own wishlist of Olympic gold, and a second motivational list features in the plot, too, as we see a driven girl maintain her drive despite everything. That positivity is the main reason to turn to this, and will make this a successful read for anyone, whether they be fans of disability sport or know nothing at all about the subject, like me. Appealingly written for maximum understanding, colourfully illustrated and structured very well, this is a fine read all told – a strong four stars.
