What's Run, Billy, Run About

Publisher Summary

Running has always been the fastest and easiest way for Billy Chekko to get around. Now that he’s on the track team, running has a whole new meaning. It’s his chance to show his family and his friends what he’s really made of. But when Billy is goaded by a bully into a race he stands little chance of winning, he’s faced with the greatest challenge of his life. Will he decide to run or walk away?
