About this ebook

Mary Maloney is fourteen years old and an excellent runner. She wins all her races on the girls' team at school. Now Mary wants to race against boys. But nobody believes Mary can do it—not her friends, not her teachers, and not the members of the athletics committee. How can Mary convince everyone to let her compete with boys? And if she does… can she win?

 

Channel Runner is a short novel for readers who love sports, fair play, and a good challenge.
