You will cheer when this kid embraces Do your best and shows it to be a ringing call to nothing less than Triumph. Gary D. Schmidt, Printz Honor winner and twotime Newbery Honor winner'Diana Harmon Asher tells an entertaining story about a boy picking his way through the potholes and pitfalls of puberty, with a little help from his friends.'

Susan Isaacs, New York Times bestselling authorIf middle school were a race, Joseph Friedman wouldnt even be in last placehed be on the sidelines. With an overactive mind and phobias of everything from hardboiled eggs to gargoyles, he struggles to understand his classes, let alone his fellow classmates. So he spends most of his time avoiding school bully Charlie Kastner and hiding out in the Resource Room, a safe place for misfit kids like him.But then, on the first day of seventh grade, two important things happen. First, his Resource Room teacher encourages (i.e., practically forces) him to join the school track team, and second, he meets Heather, a crazyfast runner who isnt going to be pushed around by Charlie Kastner or anybody else.With a new friend and a new team, Joseph finds himself off the sidelines and in the race (quite literally) for the first time. Is he a good runner? Well, no, hes terrible. But the funny thing about running is, once you're in the race, anything can happen.
